An Albuquerque, N.M., protest over a spate of fatal police shootings in the New Mexican city turned from peaceful to violent on Sunday evening, as police officers squared off with demonstrators decrying police brutality. Since 2010, Albuquerque police officers have been involved in 37 shootings, 23 of them fatal. The protests followed outrage over APD's shooting of a homeless man in the Sandia Mountains. About a week after that incident, APD officers shot another homeless man outside a shelter in circumstances that are disputed.
