New Mexico State Police officers are investigating a fatal police shooting that took place at the Laguna Reservation west of Albuquerque.

Officers responded to a call on Monday after an armed person fled from tribal police.

There are no details of how the shooting unfolded but a spokesman said the suspect was fatally shot by a State Police officer and pronounced dead on scene.

The agency isn't releasing the name of the suspect or officer involved in the shooting.
