ALBUQUERQUE – Bernalillo County sheriff’s officials say two deputies suffered injuries that weren’t life-threatening as shots were fired from inside an Albuquerque-area home during a drug raid Wednesday night.
Sheriff Manny Gonzales said a man inside the home opened fire on the deputies before barricading himself inside and eventually surrendering.
Gonzales said the nature and details about the deputies’ injuries weren’t immediately available, and a sheriff’s spokeswoman said the deputies were taken to a hospital as a precaution.
Officials said deputies returned fire but that the man who was the target of the search, 36-year-old Kenneth Sondergard, was not injured.
Sondergard was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and battery on a police office.
Court records didn’t list an attorney who could comment on the allegations.
