Carlsbad boy shot by sibling CARLSBAD — A 2-year- old Carlsbad boy has died after being shot by one of his siblings, according to inves- tigators. Detective Scot Naylor told KOAT-TV that says the shooting appears to be an accident caused by a sibling playing with a handgun owned by the family. The boy and his siblings were playing outside their family home on Wednesday when the toddler was shot. “What can you say? This is an absolute tragedy,” said Naylor. Investigators said adults were present when detec- tives arrived but it’s not clear if they were there during the shooting. All of the boy’s siblings are under the age of 5, said Naylor, and Carlsbad Police spent nearly all of Wednesday night interview- ing each sibling involved. Payday interest rate cap pushed ALBUQUERQUE — Legislators are taking aim at the payday and title loan industry in New Mexico once again, seeking to limit exorbitant interest rates often charged by lenders. Similar measures intro- duced in the House and Senate call for capping inter- est rates at 36 percent on small loans issued by lenders that are not federally insured. State regulatory data shows interest rates on title loans can range from an average of 238 percent to more than 450 percent. Installment loans can go much higher. Democrat Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero of Albuquerque is one of the sponsors. She said legisla- tors need to stand up to lob- byists and end what she characterized as unscrupu- lous lending practices.
