| [KOB] A foot chase with police in southern New Mexico ended Friday with one officer and the suspect dead, the Alamogordo Police Department said. Alamogordo Police Chief Daron Syling said the officer, 33-year-old Clint Corvinus, was struck by gunfire Friday morning and died from his injuries at Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center. Two officers were on a routine patrol on the 600 block of South Florida Avenue when they made contact with a man, 38-year-old Joseph Moreno. The suspect, who had three active arrest warrants, fled police and police pursued, Syling said. At some point shots were fired, and both Moreno and Corvinus were struck, Syling said. Moreno was pronounced dead at the scene. |
