A Santa Fe sheriff's deputy has been charged in the murder of a fellow officer after allegedly shooting him during a booze-fueled fight at a Las Cruces hotel, authorities said.

...

The two deputies drank at Dublin's Street Pub Monday and began arguing. The fight escalated at Hotel Encanto de las Cruces, where the deputies were staying after extraditing a prisoner to Safford, Ariz.

Just after midnight, Martin tried to flee into an elevator, but he was shot in the back and arms after 27-year-old Chan allegedly fired multiple rounds, according to Sheriff Robert Garcia..

Martin, who has three young children, was pronounced dead at MountainView Regional Medical Center. Garcia notified Martin's wife early Tuesday, and called both deputies "hardworking."

The commies think that guns should be
reserved for the State. These coppers
prove that civilians are not the only
ones capable of really bad decisions
with firearms.

Any civilian moron who has taken a
Carry Concealed course for his license
is taught that guns and alcohol don’t
mix.

Now imagine places like Russia,
where Vodka has has been the liquid
of choice for centuries. We need
more guns in civilian hands, not
fewer.

Hey - Chan "feared for his life".

Why would New Mexico officers deliver an extradited prisoner to another state? If we arrested a fugitive from justice we just held him until the state that issued the warrant came and picked him up. Same with our offenders arrested in another state. You want him...come and get him.

Umm, if they were Santa Fe deputies, then why didn’t they just go home after returning from AZ. Why were we even paying for a room for them when they live there?
