ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico — Albuquerque police (click here) said a man died Saturday after an officer fired shots at him during a long SWAT standoff.
The shooting comes with police facing pending U.S. Justice Department reforms over excessive force.
Deputy Chief Eric Garcia told reporters that the man died at an Albuquerque home after the man walked out of the home and fired handguns. "At 6:16 p.m. the suspect exited the house and fired shots from two handguns. An APD officer discharged his weapon at that time. The subject is deceased," Garcia said.
He did not say if the man died from gunshot wounds.
Authorities did not release any information on the suspect nor the name of the officer who fired.
According to police, the man barricaded himself inside his house...

...following a domestic dispute. Authorities said the man contacted local media outlets...
I would, too.
...during the nearly eight-hour standoff and police asked reporters not to take the man's calls...
