A MAN IS IN ALBUQUERQUE’S METRO DETENTION CENTER NOW AFTER HOLDING TWO WALGREENS EMPLOYEES HOSTAGE AND THREATENING CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE. IT HAPPENED AROUND 7:00 MONDAY NIGHT AT THE WALGREENS AT 98TH AND GIBSON.
IT WAS SCARY FOR THE PEOPLE BEING HELD, BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED AND ALL THE CUSTOMERS GOT OUT OF THE STORE SAFELY. THE TWO WALGREENS WORKERS HID BEHIND A COUNTER WHILE BEING HELD HOSTAGE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.
WHEN POLICE ARRIVED, THE MAN REFUSED TO TALK TO THEM. SWAT WAS BROUGHT IN AND OFFICERS HAD TO RUSH THE MAN INSIDE THE STORE. POLICE HAVE YET TO IDENTIFY THE SUSPECT ARRESTED.
