Republican Solomon Peña has been arrested in the US state of New Mexico. Police say he paid four men to shoot at Democrats’ homes. Apparently he believed he was a victim of voter fraud.
In the US state of New Mexico, a defeated Republican parliamentary candidate is said to have ordered an armed attack on Democratic politicians. Albuquerque Police Chief Solomon Pena is accused of “paid to shoot” four men at the homes of four Democratic politicians. Peña was therefore convinced that he lost to voter fraud in the New Mexico state elections last November.
Peña was arrested by special forces at his home and is in police custody, according to CBS. The Republican is said to have orchestrated the gun attacks on the homes of two members of the New Mexico legislature and two county officials. No one was injured in the attacks between December 4th and January 3rd. However, three bullets went through the bedroom window of Democratic Senator Linda Lopez’s daughter.
