BREAKING A failed Republican candidate who authorities say was angry over losing the election last November was arrested in connection with a series of drive-by shootings targeting the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

A failed Republican state legislative candidate who authorities say was angry over losing the election last November and made baseless claims that the election was "rigged" against him was arrested Monday in connection with a series of drive-by shootings targeting the homes of Democratic lawmakers in New Mexico's largest city.

Deputy Commander Kyle Hartsock said at least five people, including Pena, were involved in the shootings. Pena is accused of paying the others to carry out at least two of the shootings, according to Hartsock, before "Pena himself" allegedly "pulled the trigger" during one of crimes. A criminal complaint outlining the exact charges against Pena was expected to be released in the coming days.

The party of PRO LIFE 👌

It's odd it never was on the news. I think your lying about it. Because ABC news was lying during the democrats encouraged riots and the pandemic also

This guy is a turd and has got to go!

And for anybody who thinks this might be comical? Three of the bullets went through a little child's bedroom wall.

It is the economy

Did Lauren boebert give him the guns? 🤔

Great! Lock the trash up!

He’s still GOP but someone paid the media to distance him from the GOP calling him “Ex-GOP”. Well, at least you tried. 🙄👎🏼

Lmao your new republican party. 😂😂😂

Republicans are a menace.

Right wing terrorism is a much larger problem than we're being led to believe.

What kind of car does this guy drive? He looks a lot like the guy causing road rage incidents on purpose and coming after people with a pipe in SoCal. 😳

People cannot be intimidated by threats of violence when people lose elections

Just another Maga terrorist. Wish I could say I'm surprised but nothing surprises me after Jan 6th MAGAMorons MagaCult

Do you often cover Albuquerque local news? Or only when it helps support a narrative you’re trying push?

Here come the false flags

Damm, it's that bad? Used to be drive bys were done by gangster. Lol now losing politicians are doing them....

Sounds a bit hinky to me. Was Jusse Smollett in the area with a noose around his neck?

Somehow i am not surprised

It’s no wonder why folks don’t watch the local news anymore. It’s times like this when you, abc7 want to make sure everyone knows that the suspect was a Republican and an “election denier”. Why haven’t you covered the tweeter files? Oh, because it doesn’t involve republicans.

Trumpers cant handle the fact that nobody likes them 🤣🤣

All the republicans right now. 😂

What in the fu$% did I just read?!?!?!

Everybody in the comments quick to forget about Rand Paul’s neighbor or the congressional baseball game shooting.

😳😳😳

A bit of a sore loser, no?

and republicans claim democrats are the dangerous ones? a bunch of democrats lost in november and i haven’t seen a single one shooting up opponents houses.

MAGA getting more dangerous

Domestic terrorist

GQP going Taliban mode.

Not surprised since he was member of a terrorist movement

GOP in shambles… ThemagaAffect

Liberals reach ‘new high’ as share of Democratic PartyPay attention: The number of Democrats who identify as politically liberal has reached a new high, says a Gallup poll. Anecdotally that's not surprising. Centrist Democrats are becoming a thing of the past. How do you find common ground for compromise? Not likely. But maybe fear of this will drive more GOP voters to the polls.
