New details are coming out about a stakeout for a burglary suspect in the Jemez Mountains that ended with a deputy and the suspect dead.
As more questions surface about what exactly happened during the shooting, including why one of the deputies did not have their own gun, the Sandoval County Sheriff says he is no longer talking about the incident.
At Sergeant Joe Harris' funeral, Sandoval County Sheriff John Paul Trujillo gave details about what happened the morning of the shooting. New questions have surfaced about the stakeout and why Deputy Theresa Moriarty didn't have her service weapon, or why she told state investigators she was sleeping.
The sheriff says he can't answer any questions during an administrative investigation about the shooting.
Gearing up for the stakeout operation, Deputy Theresa Moriarty left behind an important tool as an officer: Her weapon.
State police say she accidentally locked her keys inside her trailer, along with her weapon, and borrowed a back-up gun from Sgt. Harris before heading to the cabin.
When Joseph Burgess broke in to the cabin and confronted the two, Sgt. Harris was able to handcuff him, but was caught off guard when Burgess pulled a gun from the small of his back and shot Sgt. Harris.
State police say Moriarty tried to fire her borrowed weapon at Burgess, but when the gun jammed, Sgt. Harris grabbed the gun from his partner and shot Burgess in the head, killing him.
State police say they were never asked to assist with the operation and when Moriarty asked neighbors to call 911, it is unclear if anyone was notified that the operation was taking place.
The 911 call, which was released Friday, shows that dispatchers did not appear to know deputies' whereabouts:
Dispatcher: Do you know how many officers are out there?
Caller: Sergeant Joe Harris
Dispatcher: Okay, Joe Harris?
Caller: Joe Harris is the one who was up here working on this.
When emergency crews finally arrived, it was too late and Sgt Harris had died.
State police also say Deputy Theresa Moriarty told them she was asleep in the cabin during the stakeout, while Sgt. Harris stayed awake.
She told investigators when Burgess broke in, Sgt. Harris woke her up.
