ALBUQUERQUE POLICE RESPONDED TO THE JOB CORPS AT I-40 AND 12TH STREET TUESDAY AFTER GETTING A CALL ABOUT A POSSIBLE ACTIVE SHOOTER. IT WAS JUST BEFORE 10:00 AM WHEN SOMEONE CALLED TO SAY THE ACTIVE SHOOTER CODE WORD FOR A LOCKDOWN AT THE JOB CORPS WENT OVER THE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.
RESPONDING OFFICERS WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY SIGN OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT NO-ONE WAS SEEN FLEEING THE BUILDING AND NO SCREAMING WAS HEARD. POLICE SAY THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT AN ARMED SUBJECT WAS EVEN ON THE CAMPUS GROUNDS.
THE AREA WAS SEARCHED AND CLEARED. APD SAYS THEY STILL DON’T KNOW WHO GAVE THE ORIGINAL LOCKDOWN/ACTIVE SHOOTER CODE.
