Former Republican candidate Solomon Pena arrested following SWAT standoff for shootings targeting Albuquerque elected officials

Investigators said that five people were involved in the conspiracy and that Pena was directly involved in the final shooting. Evidence against Pena includes firearms, cell phone and electronic records, surveillance footage and multiple witnesses, investigators said. Pena's arrest comes after an unidentified suspect believed to be linked to at least one of the shootings was in taken into custody last week.

Technology that can detect the sound of gunfire also indicated shots in the vicinity of New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez's former campaign office. Police found no damage. Multiple shots also were fired at the home of state Sen. Linda Lopez — a lead sponsor of a 2021 bill that reversed New Mexico's ban on most abortion procedures — and in a downtown area where state Sen. Moe Maestas' office is located. Maestas, an attorney, co-sponsored a bill last year to set new criminal penalties for threatening state and local judges. It didn't pass.

How is this not the top story across the nation. MAGA are violent terrorists!

BenAssembly Republicans are completely out of control and should be stopped before someone dies by their hand. The lunacy of that party is beyond measure.

WontCaveDave The media will never call them fascists.

He's a republican, enough said.

Sounds about right!

Is that what they mean by 'a good guy with a gun'?

He had a history of crimes and spent 7 years in prison. Only in America can bring in prison possibly keep you from voting, but let's you become an elected official.

Because it's what the GOP DO when they don't get their way or if someone from the 'opposition' disagrees with them. It's their pattern of twisted behavior

When will republicans be labeled as the terrorist they are?

WTF!!!

Well we all knew they was crazy when they start following Trump so I mean what else is new

What do you expect? MAGA is going to be MAGA.
