Officers then heard gunshots and were contacted by a resident who told them that a man entered their home and shot and killed their dog.

Peter Sullivan was a few houses down from where that happened when he heard the commotion.

"Someone was saying something about, 'Where's the gun' or "Get the gun,'" Sullivan said.

Police were able to locate the man and a confrontation ensued. According to Albuquerque Police, at least one officer fired shots and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect's identity has not been released.
