Police have shut down much of the area around 5th Street between St. Michael’s Drive and Siringo Road. They’re not even letting people through the blockade who live in the neighborhood. Why?
Evidently, a man with a high-powered rifle has barricaded himself in his home after firing shots into the air. KRQE is reporting that area schools are not allowing their students to leave.
St. Mike’s is traffic-heavy with detours. Until this is over, take the long way around.

WARNING: Ticket Sale is a Hoax
Santa Fe Public Schools would like to warn the community the 50/50 tickets or raffle tickets which have been recently circulating throughout Santa Fe is a hoax. It has been reported the perpetrators selling these fake tickets around the Santa Fe area and are stating they are from Agua Fria Elementary or Gonzales Community School in order to raise money for these two schools. Be aware these two schools or any other Santa Fe Public Schools are not selling these tickets. Santa Fe Public Schools would like to ask the community if they are approached by these people to call City Police immediately at 428-3710 or Santa Fe County Sheriff at 428-3720.
This chart is from the Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families in Santa Fe. It shows the dramatic increase in the number of domestic violence victims, both adults and children, they tended to last year, as well as a slight increase in the number of offenders who got some form of counseling through the shelter.
The shelter’s figures don’t give a complete picture, however. Police statistics provided by Santa Fe Domestic & Sexual Violence Liaison Carol Horwitz show fewer 911 calls, but more arrests.
Without much explanation, newly appointed City Manager Robert Romero called SFR (and the other papers, presumably) to share informations about two settlements by the Santa Fe Police Department that will cost the city $240,000.
You can likely expect to see more about these cases in the dailies tomorrow; SFR is posting the bare-bones details here.
The larger settlement was granted to Frederico Rael involving a 2007 incident on Camino Piedra Lumbre. “Mr Rael suffered significant physical injury as a result of the forced used to unlawfully handcuff him while arresting him for a crime Officer [Flavio] Salazar knew he had not committed,” a summary of Rael’s complaint by attorneys Richard Rosenstock and Jeffrey Haas says.
I really have nothing to add to this press release from Santa Fe Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jason Wagner.
OK, I do have something to add. I hope they park this bad boy on Agua Fria.
Update Nov. 6: OK, I have something more to add. The New Mex said yesterday that drivers won’t get auto-tickets unless they’re driving 11 mph or more over the speed limit. Which means the police are admitting the actual speed limit in Santa Fe is whatever the sign says plus 10, right?
