SCARY MOMENTS FOR STUDENTS AT LA CUEVA HIGH SCHOOL TODAY AFTER REPORTS OF AN ARMED PERSON ON CAMPUS. THE SCHOOL WAS PLACED ON LOCKDOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHILE POLICE AND SWAT TEAMS SEARCHED THE SCHOOL AND FOUND -- WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A FAKE WEAPON. VALERIE CASTRO IS LIVE AT LA CUEVA WITH THE DETAILS... IT WAS A TENSE MORNING FOR BOTH APD AND STUDENTS HERE AT LA CUEVA HIGHSCHOOL AFTER IT WAS REPORTED THAT AN ARMED PERSON WAS PROWLING THE CAMPUS. APS SAYS IT ALL STARTED AROUND 9:30 THIS MORNING WHEN A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A STUDENT WAVING AROUND A GUN ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO. THE SCHOOL WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON LOCKDOWN AND APD JUMPED INTO ACTION SENDING SWAT TEAMS OUT IN FULL FORCE. APD SAYS ONCE POLICE FIGURED OUT WHAT CLASSROOM THE SUSPECT WAS IN, THE SWAT TEAM USED A FLASH BANG IN THE ROOM TO TAKE THE STUDENT INTO CUSTODY. 'we were able to locate and take into custody this one individual, i can tell you at this point that weapon has been identified as a false or fake type weapon.' POLICE SAY THE WEAPON TURNED OUT TO BE A CARDBOARD GUN THAT A STUDENT HAD BROUGHT TO SCHOOL. AT THAT POINT POLICE STILL CHECKED OUT EACH AND EVERY CLASSROOM, EVACUATING ALL STUDENTS TO THE BALL FIELDS AT THE SOUTHWEST END OF THE CAMPUS UNTIL POLICE HAD GIVEN THE ALL CLEAR. ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SAY THE STUDENT IN CUSTODY WAS 17 YEAR OLD LUKE SCHIFFER AND HE WILL BE CHARGED WITH INTERFERING WITH THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS. APS SAYS ANOTHER STUDENT WAS ALSO BEING DETAINED FOR QUESTIONING. THEY SAY IF THE WHOLE THING TURNS OUT TO BE A PRANK, THOSE RESPONSIBLE COULD FACE SUSPENSION OR EVEN EXPULSION. LIVE AT LA CUEVA...VC ..EWN 4. PARENTS, MEANWHILE, WERE TOLD TO GO TO A NEARBY PARK AT CORONA AND WYOMING ... WHERE THEY COULD GET UPDATES FROM A-P-S AND A-P-D OFFICIALS. MANY OF THEM SHOWED UP AFTER GETTING CALLS OR TEXT MESSAGES FROM THEIR KIDS SAYING THEY WERE UNDER LOCKDOWN. UNTIL WORD CAME THAT EVERYONE WAS SAFE ... PARENTS HAD NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO WAIT AND WORRY ABOUT THEIR KIDS. 01:37 she says the swat team entered her room, they made her put her hands on her head, they were patted down, then they were marched out to the field. A-P-S TELLS US MOST STUDENTS WERE BACK IN THE CLASSROOM BY TWO THIS AFTERNOON, AND WERE RELEASED FROM SCHOOL AT THE NORMAL TIME. AN ALBUQUERQUE MAN IS RECOVERING TONIGHT... AFTER GETTING LOST IN THE SANDIA MOUNTAINS AND SPARKING A NEARLY 12 HOUR SEARCH AND RESCUE MISSION. THE MAN, WHO'S IDENTITY IS NOT BEING RELEASED, WANDERED AWAY FROM THE HIKERS HE WAS WITH ON THE LA LUZ TRAIL SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WHEN HE DIDN'T TURN UP LATER THAT NIGHT, HIS FRIENDS CALLED POLICE. SEARCH AND RESCUE CREWS COMBED THE AREA ALL NIGHT... AND FINALLY SPOTTED HIM AROUND TEN THIS MORNING. I feel real good ... How he's doing. THE MAN WAS FOUND NEAR THE SANDIA TRAMWAY... LYING ON A ROCK AND WAVING FOR HELP. HE WAS EVENTUALLY HOISTED OUT OF THE CANYON... USING A NATIONAL GUARD HELICOPTER. NO WORD YET ON HIS CONDITION. IT'S A NICE DAY ACROSS NEW MEXICO ... AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WARMER TOMORROW. METEOROLOGIST SHAR SPALDING IS IN THE PINPOINT FOUR STORM CENTER WITH MORE. THE TRIGO FIRE IN THE MANZANO MOUNTAINS IS COOLING DOWN. FIRE OFFICIALS NOW SAY THE 49- HUNDRED-ACRE BLAZE IS 83 PERCENT CONTAINED. THE HUMAN- CAUSED FIRE HAS BURNED 18 BUILDINGS, INCLUDING NINE WEEKEND OR SUMMER HOMES. IT ALSO DESTROYED TWO R- V'S. THE FIRE HAS COST MORE THAN 5.4 MILLION DOLLARS TO FIGHT SO FAR. FIRE RESTRICTIONS ARE NOW IN EFFECT IN PARTS OF THE MANZANO MOUNTAINS. STARTING TODAY, NO OPEN FIRES OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED IN THE CIBOLA NATIONAL FOREST. SMOKING WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED IN A CLOSED CAR OR BUILDING. ALL CARS AND TRUCKS MUST BE KEPT ON FOREST ROADS. A SMALL BUT INTENSE BRUSH FIRE IN THE NORTH VALLEY GAVE HOMEOWNERS QUITE A SCARE THIS AFTERNOON. ALBUQUERQUE FIREFIGHTERS WERE CALLED OUT-- AFTER RESIDENTS SAW 60- FOOT HIGH FLAMES IN A FIELD OF OVERGROWN BRUSH AND TRASH COMING CLOSE TO HOMES. 'This is years of buildup, and i've been thinking for years that i've got a matchbox right there, and some day this is goinna happen.' A-F-D CONTAINED THE BLAZE RELATIVELY QUICKLY AND IS KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. AT THIS POINT NO HOMES WERE BURNED. ANOTHER NEW MEXICO SUPERDELEGATE IS BACKING BARACK OBAMA. SENATOR JEFF BINGAMAN ANNOUNCED TODAY HE'LL VOTE FOR OBAMA AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. ABOUT A MONTH AGO GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON MADE HEADLINES BY DECLARING HIS SUPPORT FOR OBAMA OVER HILLARY CLINTON -- DESPITE CLINTON'S VICTORY IN THE NEW MEXICO CAUCUS AND RICHARDON'S LONGTIME FRIENDSHIP WITH BILL CLINTON. AND A WEEK BEFORE INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA VOTERS HOLD THEIR PRIMARIES -- OBAMA'S FORMER PASTOR IS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT. REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT'S DEFENDING HIMSELF OVER COMMENTS HE MADE IN SERMONS TO HIS CONGREGATION-- WHICH MANY CONSIDER UN- AMERICAN. POLITICAL ANALYSTS SAY WHILE OBAMA IS TRYING TO WIN OVER WHITE....BLUE COLLAR WORKERS -- WRIGHT IS WORKING AGAINST HIM. 'Injecting race into this presidential contest where barack obama is seen and portraying himself as above that is never good.'SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON IS POUNCING ON THE ISSUE-- SAYING SHE WOULD HAVE LEFT PASTOR WRIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS COMMENTS WERE MADE YEARS AGO. SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN IS ACTUALLY SUPPORTING OBAMA -- SAYING OBAMA IS NOT A REFLECTION OF THE REVEREND'S COMMENTS. REPUBLICAN JOHN MCCAIN ALSO SPOKE ABOUT REVEREND WRIGHT TODAY. MCCAIN TOLD REPORTS HE NEVER QUESTIONED WRIGHT'S PATRIOTISM, AND EVEN WENT ON TO PRAISE HIS MILITARY SERVICE. Presidential Candidate :12) 'I am sure that service to one's country in the military always enhances my appreciation of any american who does serve their country in the military.' MCCAIN MADE THE COMMENTS AT A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION AT A MIAMI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. WHILE THERE MCCAIN ALSO PROMISED THAT HEALTH CARE WOULD BE AFFORDABLE AND AVAILABLE TO ALL AMERICANS IF HE'S ELECTED. WASHINGTON STATE'S GOVERNOR IS CALLING ON GOVERNOR RICHARDSON TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HER RE- ELECTION CAMPAIGN. RICHARDSON AND WASHINGTON GOVERNOR CHRISTINE GREGOIRE ARE BOTH SUPPORTING BARACK OBAMA IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. GREGOIRE NOW WANTS RICHARDSON'S HELP AS SHE RUNS FOR A SECOND TERM IN WASHINGTON. SHE'S FACING OFF AGAINST A FORMER STATE SENATOR WHO SHE NARROWLY DEFEATED IN 2004. AMERICANS ARE STARTING TO RECEIVE THEIR TAX REBATES FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PEOPLE WHO CHOSE DIRECT DEPOSIT ARE SEEING THE MONEY STARTING TODAY. PAPER CHECKS WILL START GOING OUT ON MAY 9TH, A WEEK EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED. THE EXTRA CASH IS INTENDED TO HELP AMERICANS COPE WITH RISING GAS AND FOOD PRICES, WHILE BOOSTING THE SLUMPING ECONOMY. SUPPLY CONCERNS ARE PUSHING OIL PRICES TO ALL-TIME HIGHS... AS OIL FUTURES SURGE TO A NEW RECORD AT CLOSE TO 120 DOLLARS A BARREL. THE PRICE HIKE IS PARTLY BLAMED ON A WEEKEND REFINERY STRIKE IN SCOTLAND. IT CLOSED A PIPELINE THAT DELIVERS A THIRD OF BRITAIN'S OIL FROM THE NORTH SEA. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR GASOLINE PRICES HAS HIT 3-60 A GALLON, ACCORDING TO TRIPLE-A. NEW MEXICO'S AVERAGE IS JUST FIVE CENTS BELOW THAT DOZENS OF TRUCKERS HONKED THEIR OWN HORNS TODAY IN PROTEST AT THE NATION'S CAPITOL. A NUMBER OF TRUCKERS DROVE AROUND CAPITOL HILL TRYING TO GET LAWMAKERS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SOARING DIESEL PRICES. IT'S BEING CALLED THE BIGGEST COURT DECISION RELATING TO POLITICS SINCE BUSH VERSUS GORE IN 2000. THE U-S SUPREME COURT TODAY UPHELD INDIANA'S LAW REQUIRING VOTERS TO SHOW STATE-ISSUED PHOTO I-D. AS TRACIE POTTS EXPLAINS, THAT COULD IMPACT VOTERS NATIONWIDE IN NOVEMBER. nats IN feed 'Voter card? NEXT WEEK - WHEN HOOSIERS VOTE -- THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO SHOW A STATE I-D OR DRIVER'S LICENSE. 'I didn't know we could not vote without the license.' THE U-S SUPREME COURT UPHELD INDIANA'S PHOTO I-D LAW... PASSED BY REPUBLICANS THERE IN 2005. DEMOCRATS AND CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS SAY SOME SENIORS AND POOR PEOPLE DON'T HAVE OR CAN'T AFFORD BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS TO GET THE I-D. 'We don't have a problem in this country with voters really impersonating somebody to vote or trying to vote when they're not registered.' BUT SIX JUSTICES AGREED... THAT EVEN THOUGH NO ONE IN INDIANA'S BEEN PROSECUTED FOR IT... THERE'S A '...REAL RISK THAT VOTER FRAUD COULD AFFECT A CLOSE ELECTION'S OUTCOME. ' INDIANA'S SECRETARY OF STATE AGREES: 'This says to voter you can have confidence in our elections because we're doing some of those things the guy at video store does when you go to rent a video.'INDIANA IS ONE OF ONLY THREE STATES REQURING STATE PHOTO I-D -- AT LEAST 17 OTHER STATES ARE CONSIDERING IT. CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT IN OTHER STATES. 'At the polls in November, you're gonna be seeing voters asked for identification where it's not required in their jurisdiction.' THEY SAY IT'S ALREADY BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PRIMARIES.... NOW... THE COURT HAS CLEARED THE WAY TO DENY BALLOTS TO VOTERS WHO CAN'T PROVE WHO THEY ARE. audio outcue: 'Tracie Potts, NBC News, Washington.' IT LOOKS LIKE THE COURT MAY HAVE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN FOR FUTURE CHALLENGES. THREE OF SIX JUSTICES IN THE MAJORITY WROTE THEIR OWN OPINIONS, SUGGESTING THESE LAWS COULD DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS. TEXAS CHILD WELFARE OFFICIALS SAY THAT MORE THAN HALF THE TEEN GIRLS SWEPT INTO STATE CUSTODY FROM A POLYGAMIST SECT'S RANCH -- HAVE BEEN PREGNANT. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES SAYS 53 GIRLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 14 AND 17 WERE LIVING ON THE RANCH IN ELDORADO. OF THAT GROUP, 31 ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN OR ARE PREGNANT. STATE OFFICIALS TOOK CUSTODY OF ALL 463 CHILDREN AFTER A RAID PROMPTED BY CALLS TO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE. UNITED AIRLINES AND U-S AIRWAYS ARE SAID TO BE IN VERY ADVANCED TALKS, EXPECTING TO ANNOUNCE WITHIN TWO WEEKS THAT THEY ARE COMBINING. THAT'S WHAT TWO PEOPLE CLOSE TO THE NEGOTIATIONS TELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. THE MERGER WOULD RIVAL THE ONE BETWEEN DELTA AND NORTHWEST, FOR THE WORLD'S LARGEST AIRLINE. UNITED AND U-S AIRWAYS STEPPED UP THEIR TALKS AFTER CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ANNOUNCED IT WOULDN'T PURSUE A DEAL WITH UNITED. A POTENTIAL WATER CRISIS IS AVERTED IN ONE NEW MEXICO COMMUNITY. SEE WHICH CITY SAYS THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL, AFTER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH WATER WELLS. AND... A BRAND NEW BARBECUE GRILL LITERALLY MELTS UNDER PRESSURE.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: New York's New Governor

ALBUQUERQUE POLICE ARE CRACKING DOWN TONIGHT IN A PROBLEM PART OF TOWN. DOZENS OF OFFICERS WORKED THE AREA ALONG CENTRAL BETWEEN ASTRISCO AND COORS... AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. CRIS ORNELAS RODE ALONG WITH OFFICERS TONIGHT... HE'S LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM WITH OUR TOP STORY. POLICE ARE WORKING THE AREA HOPING TO CLEAN IT UP AND HELP REVITALIZE BUSINESS. TONIGHT SEVERAL DOZEN MORE PEOPLE ARE IN JAIL AS A RESULT. WE RODE ALONG WITH OFFICER BRIAN BERRIOS AS HE WORKED TONIGHTS WEED AND SEED PROGRAM. 'especially because its getting warmer in the summer it gets a little crazier so we'll let our presence be known now'FIRST UP IS THIS GENTLEMAN... POLICE THINK HE LOOKS LIKE A MAN WANTED IN A RECENT BURGLARY. WHEN COPS SEARCH HIS POCKETS THEY FIND POT, A PIPE AND A KNIFE. 'we're gonna give you're girlfriend you wallet the only thing we're gonna take out of here is your id ok the less stuff you take to jail the better'THE MAN CLAIMS HE didn't KNOW POLICE WERE LOOKING FOR HIM. 'did you know you had a warrant out for your arrest? no whats it for? its for aggravated burglary'AFTER A SHORT RIDE IN THE BACK OF A COP CAR THE MAN IS BEING PROCESSED AT THIS MAKESHIFT SUBSTATION. BUT POLICE WERE ALSO LOOKING TO CLEAN UP CENTRAL. A VICE OPERATION THIS EVENING FOCUSED ON DRUGS AND PROSTITUTION IN THE AREA. 'today we had two female prostitutes arrested we had 14 johns guys that were trying to pick up prostitutes that were arrested' POLICE WERE ALSO LOOKING FOR ADULTS WILLING TO BUY BOOZE FOR KIDS. THOSE OFFICERS HAD A WANTED FELON FALL RIGHT INTO THEIR LAP. 'we just had one try and purchase alcohol the gentleman said no I cant i've got a felony warrant for my arrest and we just affected an arrest on him he had a 25-thousand dollar bond' AT LAST CHECK POLICE HAD MADE 52 ARRESTS DURING THIS OPERATION. THE SECOND ANNUAL EARTH HOUR WRAPPED UP IN ALBUQUERQUE ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. THE EVENT IS A WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN TO BRING AWARENESS TO GLOBAL WARMING. THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE WAS SUPPOSED TO PARTICIPATE. VALERIE CASTRO WAS OUT DURING THAT HOUR TO SEE HOW WELL THE CITY DID. SHE'S LIVE DOWNTOWN WITH THE RESULTS. A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE CITY ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT ALBUQUERQUE WOULD BE PARTICIPATING IN EARTH HOUR AND ENCOURAGED RESIDENTS TO JOIN IN, BUT WE FOUND THE CITY MAY NOT HAVE SET THE BEST EXAMPLE. EARTH HOUR STARTED IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA LAST YEAR TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT SAVING ENERGY AND THIS IS VIDEO OF WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN DURING THAT TIME -- BUT THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND WHEN WE DROVE AROUND BETWEEN 8PM AND 9M IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. CITY HALL HAD SEVERAL LIGHTS ON INCLUDING THOSE IN CIVIC PLAZA. WE WERE TOLD EVERY PIECE OF NON-ESSENTIAL LIGHTING WOULD BE SHUT OFF IN THE CITY BUT WE FOUND METRO COURT WITH QUITE A FEW LIGHT BULBS BURNING ON THIS SATURDAY NIGHT. 'Every non essential piece of lighting in the city of albuquerque is going to be turned off and that's what mayor chavez has signed us up for.'ONCE AGAIN, WE WEREN'T TOLD EXACTLY WHAT NON ESSENTIAL LIGHTING IS. AS FAR AS WE COULD TELL FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT ALBUQUERQUE WASN'T A VERY ACTIVE PARTICIPATE IN EARTH HOUR. WE WERE UNABLE TO REACH MAYOR CHAVEZ FOR COMMENT. LIVE DOWNTOWN...VC... EWN 4. HERE'S A LOOK AT OTHER U-S CITIES THAT MARKED EARTH HOUR TONIGHT. THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN LAST YEAR IN AUSTRALIA. THIS YEAR, ORGANIZERS HOPE ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WILL TAKE PART IN TURNING OFF THEIR LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS TONIGHT. CREWS IN VALENCIA COUNTY MANAGED TO CONTAIN A GRASS FIRE BEFORE IT REACHED A SCHOOL AND A HOME. THE GRASS FIRE BURNED THIS AFTERNOON IN BELEN NEAR MAIN STREET AND ARAGON.

SMOKING AND CAMPFIRES ARE PROHIBITED IN THE LINCOLN NATIONAL FOREST. VISITORS CAN USE PRESSURIZED LIQUID OR GAS STOVES.. OR SPACE HEATING DEVICES. A FOREST FIRE MANAGER SAYS LARGER TREES, LOGS, AND BRANCHES ARE VERY DRY ... AND WITH MOISTURE LEVELS SO LOW... THE CHANCES OF A FIRE IGNITING HAVE GREATLY INCREASED. THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE IS ALSO SEEING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR FIRES. METEOROLOGIST TY SHESKY IS IN THE PINPOINT 4 STORMCENTER WITH MORE. ONCE AGAIN IT LOOKS LIKE GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON IS TAKING ON THE ROLE AS HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR. JUST TODAY WE FOUND OUT THAT THE GOVERNOR JUST RETURNED FROM COLUMBIA AFTER DISCUSSING THREE AMERICANS BEING HELD HOSTAGE THERE. WITHOUT MUCH FANFAIR THE GOVERNOR TRAVELED TO BOGOTA, COLUMBIA AND IS NOW BACK IN THE U-S. THESE ARE PICTURES FROM HIS TRIP... MEETING WITH COLUMBIA'S PRESIDENTS AND OTHER LEADERS. IN A PRESS RELEASE SENT OUT BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TODAY... A SPOKESPERSON SAYS THE TRIP WAS COORDINATED BY THE US- STATE DEPARTMENT---WITH AN INVITATION FROM COLUMBIA'S PRESIDENT. RICHARDSON TRAVELED TO COLUMBIA TO EVALUATE THE PROSPECTS FOR THE RELEASE OF THREE U-S CONTRACTORS. THEY WERE CAPTURED IN 2003 BY GUERILLA GROUP---THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMED FORCES OF COLUMBIA. EARLIER THIS MONTH THE FAMILY OF THE HOSTAGES CONTACTED RICHARDSON ASKING HIM TO HELP GET THEM HOME SAFELY. IN THE RELEASE RICHARDSON IS QUOTED AS SAYING 'While I believe this initial trip was successful, the process of freeing the hostages won't happen quickly.' AFTER HIS MEETING WITH HIGH LEVEL OFFICIALS THE COLUMBIAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED A NEW INITIATIVE TO FREE NUMEROUS IMPRISONED REBELS---IF THE GROUP HOLDING THE AMERICANS---WOULD RELEASE FORMER COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE INGRID BETANCOURT WHO IS REPORTED TO BE SERIOUSLY ILL. RICHARDSON SAYS 'I believe that the new initiative proposed by the Colombian Government, is a positive step toward restarting the humanitarian exchange.'TONIGHT A SPOKESMAN FOR THE GOVERNOR SAYS IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY WHAT'S NEXT IN THE CASE. THE GOVERNOR MOST RECENTLY NEGOTIATED THE RELEASE OF NEW MEXICO HOSTAGE JOURNALIST PAUL SALOPEK IN 2006. HE WAS IN SUDAN WORKING ON A STORY FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. SALOPEK AND HIS TWO COLLEAGUES WERE ACCUSED OF BEING SPIES. POLICE CONTINUE LOOKING FOR A TEAM OF ARMED ROBBERS THEY SAY HAVE HIT 25 ALBUQUERQUE BUSINESSES. POLICE SAY THE FIVE MEN AND ONE WOMAN ARE A VERY ORGANIZED CREW. THEY APPARENTLY WAIT FOR ALL THE CUSTOMERS TO CLEAR OUT OF A BUSINESS BEFORE GOING IN, DEMAND CASH FROM THE REGISTER, AND CLEAN OUT THE SAFE. 18:28-18:34 'They are in out between 2 and 4 minutes so it seems they have some sort of plan before they go in'THE CREW HAS EARNED THE NAME 'THE BACKPACK BANDITS' BECAUSE ONE OR MORE OF THEM ALWAYS HAS A BACKPACK. POLICE SAY THEY ALWAYS WEAR MASKS OR BANDANAS AND GLOVES... MAKING THEM HARD TO IDENTIFY. THE ONLY VEHICLE DESCRIPTION POLICE HAVE IS A HYUNDAI ELANTRA OR A DODGE INTREPID. POLICE ARE TRYING TO FIND FOUR MORE SUSPECTS INVOLVED IN A SHOOTOUT NEAR A FARMINGTON RESTAURANT. OFFICERS SAY THEY WERE EATING AT A CHILI'S THURSDAY, WHEN THEY HEARD GUNSHOTS OUTSIDE, BELIEVED TO BE FROM A GANG RELATED ARGUMENT. THE OFFICERS SAY WHEN THEY WENT OUTSIDE, EVERYONE WAS GONE EXCEPT FOR 26-YEAR-OLD JESUS LOVATO, WHO POINTED A GUN AT THEM. HE SURRENDERED AFTER ONE OFFICER FIRED A SHOT AT HIM. FARMINGTON POLICE HAVE ISSUED WARRANTS FOR FOUR MORE SUSPECTS. THEY ARE TIMOTHY JARAMILLO, ALEXANDER WENGER, AND SAM AND LEO LOVATO. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ASKED TO CALL FARMINGTON POLICE. THE DRIVER OF A CAR AUTHORITIES SAY CAUSED A FIERY HIGHWAY CRASH IN MASSACHUSETTES, NOW FACES CHARGES. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE CAR HIT A TANKER TRUCK FULL OF FUEL ON INTERSTATE 91, FORCING IT TO ROLLOVER AND CATCH FIRE. THE TRUCK'S DRIVER DIED OF HIS INJURIES SEVERAL HOURS LATER. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR IS CHARGED WITH NEGLIGENT MOTOR VEHICLE HOMICIDE. HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA ARE SCRAMBLING FOR THE LAST REMAINING DELEGATES IN TEXAS. THE STATE HELD ANOTHER ROUND OF CAUCUSES TODAY. THE LATEST RESULTS SHOW CLINTON AND OBAMA ALL TIED UP. HOWEVER, JUST ABOUT EVERY COUNT SHOWS OBAMA BEATING CLINTON IN THE OVERALL RACE FOR DELEGATES. THAT HAS SOME TOP DEMOCRATS CALLING FOR A WINNER TO BE DECIDED SOON, IN ORDER TO PREVENT FIGHTING AT THE PARTY'S NATIONAL CONVENTION THIS AUGUST. BUT OBAMA AND CLINTON BOTH AGREE THAT EVERY STATE SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO VOTE BEFORE A NOMINEE IS CHOSEN. Presidential candidate :00-:05) 'The more people get a chance to vote, the better it is for our democracy.' Presidential candidate :28-:32) 'My attitude is - Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants.' THE LAST PRIMARIES AND CAUCUSES WRAP UP IN JUNE. SOME WONDERED IF FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN EDWARDS WOULD MAKE AN ENDORSEMENT TODAY... DURING A YOUNG DEMOCRAT'S CONVENTION IN NORTH CAROLINA. INSTEAD, EDWARDS HAD KIND WORDS FOR BOTH BARACK OBAMA AND HILLARY CLINTON. HE SAID OBAMA IS EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED AND PRAISED HIM FOR BRINGING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE POLITICAL PROCESS. AS FOR CLINTON, EDWARDS COMMENDED ON HER STRENGTH AND LEADERSHIP. THE I-R-S WORKED OVER TIME TODAY, TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE RECEIVE THEIR STIMULUS CHECKS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T NORMALLY FILE TAX RETURNS MUST DO SO IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THE CHECKS. THEY INCLUDE RETIREES AND DISABLED VETERANS. THE I-R-S OPENED OFFICES IN NEW MEXICO AND AROUND THE COUNTRY TODAY TO HELP THEM OUT. THE CHECKS, WHICH START GOING OUT IN MAY, GIVE UP TO 600 DOLLARS TO INDIVIDUALS, AND UP TO 1200 DOLLARS TO COUPLES. PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN WILL GET EXTRA MONEY. THERE WAS SOME FANCY DOGGIE DINING TO BE HAD TONIGHT. WE'LL TAKE YOU TO A FUNDRAISER INVOLVING PETS AND THEIR OWNERS. AND... ANOTHER FUNDRAISER HAS PEOPLE HITTING THE PAVEMENT TO FIGHT ALL-TOO-COMMON DISEASES. THESE STORIES ARE COMING UP ON EYEWITNESS NEW FOUR AT TEN. DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS GOT TOGETHER FOR 'YAPPY' HOUR THIS EVENING. IT WAS PART OF THE MAYOR'S ANNUAL DOG BALL TONIGHT AT THE ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON MUSEUM. THE GALA EVENT ALSO FEATURED DINNER, MUSIC, AND DANCING TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE ANIMAL KENNEL KOMPADRES. THE NON PROFIT GROUP WILL USE THE MONEY TO HELP OUT THE DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL WELFARE. 8:15-8:21 'folks are having a great time, their pets are having a great time. and we're raising money for a tremendous cause' MAYOR CHAVEZ ALSO TELLS US TONIGHT'S EVENT SAW A SELL-OUT CROWD. 20-THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH... THAT'S HOW MUCH THE CITY OF FARMINGTON DISHED OUT FOR ITS NOW OUSTED CITY MANAGER. A STUDY OF CITY RECORDS SHOWS THE CITY SPENT NEARLY 180- THOUSAND DOLLARS ON COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MIKE MILLER. MILLER WAS CITY MANAGER FOR NINE MONTHS BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO FIRE HIM.. SAYING HIS AGGRESSIVE MANAGEMENT STYLE WASN'T WORKING OUT. THE MONEY INCLUDES MILLER'S SALARY, A SEVERANCE PACKAGE, TRAVEL AND RELOCATION EXPENSES AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO HIS RETIREMENT ACCOUNT. MILLER WAS ALSO FIRED FROM HIS PREVIOUS JOB AS CITY MANAGER IN COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE. FARMINGTON WILL START TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR A NEW CITY MANAGER STARTING APRIL FIRST... UNTIL THE 15TH.

FEWER THAN 900 OF THOSE NEW MEXICANS SURVIVED. TO HONOR THE TROOPS, A 26-MILE MEMORIAL MARCH IS BEING HELD TOMORROW AT WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE. HUNDREDS ENJOYED THE WARM WEATHER TODAY, BY WALKING FOR CHARITY. THE 16TH ANNUAL HEART AND STROKE WALK WAS HELD THIS MORNING AT ALBUQUERQUE ACADEMY'S WALKING TRAIL. EVENT ORGANIZERS FROM THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION SAY AROUND 14- HUNDRED PEOPLE SHOWED UP, AND THEY RAISED AT LEAST 80-THOUSAND DOLLARS. THAT MAKES IT A BIGGER SUCCESS THAT LAST YEAR'S WALK. ANOTHER WALK IN ALBUQUERQUE RAISED MONEY TO FIGHT H-I-V AND AIDS. THE ONE MILE WALK KICKED OFF AT CIVIC PLAZA, WITH THE HOPE OF RAISING 60- THOUSAND DOLLARS.
