The New Mexico State Police officer who fired shots at a minivan full
of children during a chaotic October traffic stop has been fired.
New
Mexico State Police spokesman Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez says he confirmed
with State Police Chief Pete Kassetas that Officer Elias Montoya is no
longer employed by the department. His termination was effective at 5
p.m. Friday.
Montoya has 30 days to appeal his firing to a public safety advisory council. He doesn't have a listed phone number.
The
officer was placed on administrative leave earlier this week following
an investigation into the shooting outside the northern New Mexico
tourist town of Taos.
