Carlsbad officers shoot, kill escaped inmate
CARLSBAD, NM (KRQE) – New Mexico State Police confirm that an escaped inmate was shot in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Carlsbad police say it happened in an alley behind the Tia Maria Apartment complex on Church Street around 10 a.m. Monday.
They said they were chasing 24-year-old Troy Kirkpatrick who had escaped from the Eddy County Detention Center and was fleeing in a car.
Police say officers had to use deadly force, shooting Kirkpatrick.
He later died at the hospital.
Just last week a man by the name of Troy Kirkpatrick was arrested after a two hour standoff in Carlsbad police had to gas the house to get him to come out. Police won’t confirm if it’s the same Kirkpatrick, but they expect to release more details Monday.

Animal police shooting gets national attention
CARLSBAD, N.M (KRQE) – A Carlsbad woman who just lost her son to a police shooting says officers executed her dog this week.
Police say they had no choice, but the shooting is prompting a national organization to get involved.
“Bam. They shot him right in front of my face, right in front of me,” said Tracy Kirkpatrick.
Tracy Kirkpatrick says she watched Carlsbad police kill her dog just a month after officers gunned down her son, Troy Kirkpatrick.
“They came towards the dogs. To me it looked like an execution,” she said.
According to the police report, last weekend officers were called out to an area near the Carlsbad dam because of a fight.
When they arrived they say Kirkpatrick’s two dogs aggressively approached them.
They say one backed off, the other, a yellow-lab, exposed its teeth and started growling at officers.
“The officer felt like he was fixing to be attacked by the dog so he shot the dog,” said Carlsbad Police Captain Jon Moyers.
The dog died instantly.
“I was praying to God it wasn’t true,” said Kirkpatrick. “It was some kind of hoax.”
Now, the case is getting some national attention.
