Albuquerque police said some of their officers will be helping out with security at an apartment complex that saw two big parties in two weeks, one of which ended in a shooting.

APD said two of its officers will be at the Cottages of New Mexico apartment complex Thursday through Saturday nights. On Sunday, a party ended after police said a fight broke out and two men fired shots and then shot at a car.


Police later arrested those men, but they said there was another big party there just the week before.

Residents said it is easy for people to get onto the property who may not belong there and they said the main gate is always open.

Calls to the Cottages were not returned. But the apartment complex is responding to its residents on social media, promising to make changes.

The Cottages are a popular apartment complex for University of New Mexico students, but they are not associated with the university.
