The protest, held near the city's Tiguex Park, called for the removal of the statue that stands outside the Albuquerque Museum. Neither the shooter nor the victim — said by police to be in critical but stable condition and undergoing treatment at a local hospital – was immediately identified. However, some protesters blamed the far-right New Mexico Civil Guard, whose members were carrying firearms as they tried to protect the statue, for the shooting. "We are receiving reports about vigilante groups possibly instigating this violence," Police Chief Michael Geier was quoted in a department tweet as saying. "If this is true will be holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including federal hate group designation and prosecution."
