Authorities shut down the Rail Runner train tracks through Sandia Rail Runner station to Santa Fe station until further notice due to an “active shooter” from a possible road rage incident.
Rail Runner operators first reported an active shooter north of Sandoval/U.S. 550 station Tuesday at around 6 A.M.
The sheriff says they are trying to track the suspect near Bernalillo High School.
The director of operations said the Town of Bernalillo and the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office shut down the tracks and informed them at around 5 A.M.
The authorities shut down the tracks until they catch the perpetrator or until they tell the operators they can open up again, according to the director.
Bernalillo Public Schools have implemented a two-hour delay and school officials say students and faculty should not report to campus until notified since buses cannot leave the transportation area at this time.
The director further said that it will affect all morning trains and they are working to accommodate passengers whom the situation has affected.
