The Independent, Gallup, N. M. May 15, 2013
Gallup, New Mexico-Shots were fired Tuesday near the Sunset Cemetery when a
retired Gallup police officer, who works for Rollie Mortuary, came upon
suspicious persons. According to a Gallup police report, Chris Mazon was in the
storage area of the cemetery about 1:30 p.m. when he observed a black car in a
field near the business. Officials at the cemetery have reported a series of
thefts of vases and markers at the cemetery. Mazon headed to the car to tell
them they shouldn't be in the area. When the driver saw him he sped off east in
the direction of Gallup. Mazon said he was following in a company SUV when the
passenger in the vehicle leaned out of the vehicle and fired two shots in his
direction. Mazon told police he continued following the vehicle as it sped
through several stop signs at a high speed until he lost sight of the vehicle on
County Road 1. McKinley County Sheriff's deputies later found the vehicle abandoned.
