LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - An injured man was transported to a hospital Thursday following an incident that a police spokesman said reportedly involved a crash and gunfire in downtown Las Cruces.

Circumstances of the incident weren’t immediately clear but police spokesman Dan Trujillo told The Associated Press during a brief telephone interview that it apparently began with a domestic relations matter of some sort.

The nature of the man’s injuries and his condition weren’t immediately released, but a police statement said the incident would be investigated by a task force with investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies.

The statement said a police officer “suffered relatively minor injuries during the incident,” which occurred near an intersection in the vicinity of a post office in a commercial area.
