Feds Seek Suspect in Clinic Incidents

The FBI is seeking information about the individual responsible for hate crimes directed at the Planned Parenthood of New Mexico health center in Rio Rancho, NM. In May a male suspect was caught on surveillance cameras spray-painting anti-abortion slogans on the windows. He also fired a gunshot into the clinic. The Rio Rancho health center provides reproductive health care but does not offer abortion services.

On July 17 an employee found anti-abortion literature and a note taped to her car windshield. Two days later, gunshots were again fired into the clinic. Officials believe the incidents are related.  Anyone with information about this crime should call the Rio Rancho police at 505-891-7226.
