Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston says a person was shot during an Albuquerque-area traffic stop conducted by a sheriff's deputy.
Sheriff Dan Houston says the person shot was sent to a hospital while the deputy was not injured in the late Tuesday night incident.
The sheriff would not say whether the wounded person was shot by the deputy or whether the person who was shot had a weapon.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that a white sedan remained on the shoulder of Central Avenue between 75th Street and Unser Boulevard during the investigation. Its trunk and a door were open.
Houston says New Mexico State Police and Albuquerque police were helping with the investigation.
Further details are not immediately available.
