Biker gangs shootings sparks Santa Fe hospital lockdown
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) – A shooting involving two rival motorcycle gangs prompted a temporary lockdown of a Santa Fe hospital.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports (https://goo.gl/WqT5Kr ) Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center was placed on lockdown for more than an hour late Saturday after a member of the Vagos Motorcycle Club was taken to the hospital’s emergency room.
Santa Fe police Capt. Robert Vasquez says that member was shot by a rival motorcycle gang member near Franklin E. Miles Park.
