The Latest: Lawmakers Express Condolences In Officer’s Death

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico lawmakers and law enforcement officials are offering condolences to a fallen officer's family and colleagues after authorities say he was shot and killed while pursuing a suspect. U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, a Democrat, extended sympathies to police in Alamogordo, the desert town where authorities say Officer Clint Corvinus was shot and killed. U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, a Republican whose district includes Alamogordo, says the state has lost too many police officers in recent months and the "violence must end." Corvinus' death comes three weeks after an officer in the village of Hatch was gunned down during a traffic stop. Police say Corvinus was on patrol with another officer Friday when they encountered Joseph Moreno, who had three active arrest warrants. He fled on foot before gunfire erupted. Police say Moreno also was killed.
