Authorities in New Mexico's largest city scrambled Friday to piece together what sparked separate shootings that killed five people and wounded six others as the mayor acknowledged that elected leaders and residents were tired of the violence that has plagued parts of Albuquerque.
There were no immediate arrests in Thursday night's shootings.
Investigators didn't immediately determine whether there was any connection between the shootings that Deputy Police Chief Harold Medina called "senseless acts" during a news conference early Friday.
Mayor Tim Keller called the shootings "appalling."
"We are fed up with the gun violence, gang and addiction issues gripping parts of our city, and I am determined to keep fighting against violence in our city on behalf of the families who lost loved ones last night and all the families who have lost loved ones to violence."
