Feds: Gray wolf population up ALBUQUERQUE — There are now more Mexican gray wolves roaming the American Southwest than at any time since the federal government began trying to reintroduce the predators nearly two decades ago. The annual survey released Friday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shows at least 113 wolves are spread between southwestern New Mexico and southeast Arizona, marking an improvement over the 97 wolves that were document- ed the previous year. "We are encouraged by these numbers. But these 2016 results demonstrate we are still not out of the woods," Fish and Wildlife Service regional director Benjamin Tuggle said in a statement. More work needs to be done to ensure the pop- ulation grows by about 10 percent each year, Tuggle said. Officer hits, kills pedestrian SANTA FE — Authorities say a Santa Fe police officer fatally struck a pedestrian while taking a suspect to jail. The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office says officer Lucas Sena hit and killed 41- year-old Francisco Navarette at an intersection along Cerrillos Road on Thursday night. Sheriff's spokesman Juan Rios said he didn't know if Navarette was in a cross- walk. Police spokesman Greg Gurule said Sena was not injured and the suspect he was transporting complained of neck pain but was OK. Gurule could not immediate- ly say if Sena was placed on leave.
