Show Notes
New Mexico grapples with a alarming trend: shootings near schools occurring over once a week on average, with deadly consequences in nearly half the cases. Over the past decade, data reveals eight hundred thirty-three such incidents statewide, resulting in five hundred twenty-six fatalities. Schools like La Mesa Elementary in Albuquerque, Missouri Avenue Elementary and Valley View Elementary in Roswell, and Las Montanas Charter and Lynn Middle in Las Cruces are among the hotspots. Despite existing laws increasing penalties for gun crimes and drug deals near schools, the threat persists, as evidenced by tragic cases like sixteen-year-old Andrew Bursons death near West Mesa Highs football field. The data underscores the urgent need for reevaluation of safety measures to protect students.
