ALBUQUERQUE — An FBI agent was wounded and a man was killed during a shootout Wednesday morning in Northeast Albuquerque.
FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said the agent, whose bullet proof vest was struck by gunfire, is expected to survive and the man was pronounced dead on scene.
Fisher did not identify the agent or man killed and would not say whether any other suspects were detained or involved.
"Because this is an ongoing investigation, there are very few details I can provide at this time," Fisher said. "Like all FBI shootings, this one will be thoroughly investigated."
He said FBI agents and task force officers were serving multiple search warrants around 11 a.m. at a strip mall near Northeastern and Wyoming when the incident occurred.
Fisher would not say if the warrants — which were related to a violent crime investigation — were being served at a business or elsewhere.
