We're the Only Ones in Heap Big Trouble Enough

A Santa Clara Pueblo officer was arraigned in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court on Friday on charges stemming from an incident during which he fired his service revolver in a home near a 3-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl, according to a statement of probable cause.

Leon Gallegos, 29, of Alcalde was charged with assault against a household member, kidnapping, abandonment or abuse of a child and negligent use of a deadly weapon. According to the statement, U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs officers received a report of "shots fired" in a home at 2:48 a.m. Monday.

Gallegos' girlfriend told police she had heard seven gunshots in the home as she was leaving it, the statement said. She said Gallegos had been drinking alcohol, and two small children were in the home when the shots were fired...
Firearms and fire water bad medicine--especially for "Only Ones."

"Service revolver" eh? Googled Santa Clara Pueblo PD until I was eye weary and couldn't find reference to their sidearms, and that in and of itself proves I need to get out more.
