Teammates Joaquin Sanchez and Joshua Vigil were at a house party in Ribera when New Mexico State Police got a call about a shooting.
"When officers arrived on scene, they located a 17-year-old shooting victim. That victim was identified as Josh Vigil," said Lt. Mark Soriano with New Mexico State Police.
An arrest warrant shows they were partying at Sanchez's house. Sanchez told police he had a couple beers and a couple shots before "getting agitated and angry" because some people were throwing garbage on the floor.
He reportedly went to his parents' room to grab a hunting rifle, pulled the bolt back four times, and
believed it was unloaded before he pointed it at Vigil's head and pulled the trigger.
Sanchez was arrested and is facing a second-degree murder charge. Police will continue to investigate who owned the gun and how it was accessed. The case will be prosecuted by the district attorney in Taos because of a conflict of interest in Las Vegas (N. M.).

The judge, in a t-shirt in his office, asked if we had wanted to married in "The mystique of Taos" and I
explained that my wife was from Santa Fe. Later, when we asked for photos, he put his robe on.

It should also be pointed out that this young person actually had some familiarity with the weapon and operation (and thus repeatedly clearing the chamber). Unfortunately - that action is followed by pointing the weapon at someone's head, and pulling the trigger.
Because - seventeen. Tragic!

Can't blame the gun. Hell no, guns have got constitutional rights.
