Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, November 13th, and thanks for joining us. We start today with breaking news from Central Avenue, where a shooting involving Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputies near Jefferson has left one person injured and another detained. Authorities responded quickly to the scene, but details are still coming out. We’re following updates closely and will keep everyone informed as more becomes available.Turning to City Hall, there’s a heated debate unfolding around Quirky Books on Jefferson just north of Central. After months of complaints from nearby businesses over safety and sanitation concerns tied to a homeless encampment on the bookstore’s lot, the city has now asked a judge to declare the property a public nuisance. If approved, this could mean forced eviction for residents and possibly a legal bid to sell the property to new owners. The owner, Gillam Kerley, argues he’s providing much-needed shelter, while business owners insist the encampment is hurting their livelihoods. It’s a tough situation, and we’ll be watching how the courts decide in the coming days.On the weather front, it’s shaping up to be another clear, crisp autumn day across Albuquerque. Expect morning lows in the upper 30s with sunshine warming us into the mid 60s by afternoon.

Tonight will be chilly, so stay comfortable.Real estate watchers will note that the market remains active across the city, with around 130 homes newly listed this week and average prices holding steady near 350 thousand dollars.
