Jun. 12—Santa Fe police on Friday arrested two teenage boys in connection with a number of shootings and aggravated assaults that occurred over the past three weeks.

One of the boys, a 16-year-old, is charged with shooting at or from a motor vehicle, criminal damage to property and negligent use of a deadly weapon.

The other, 15, is charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and shooting at or from a motor vehicle, according to a news release.

Police said the teens were involved in a drive-by shooting June 5 in the 4300 block of Jaguar Loop. No one was injured in the shooting, but a vehicle was damaged by gunfire.

Police arrested the teens while serving search warrants in the 3000 block of Primo Colores and in the 2500 block of Camino Cabestro. The suspects were being held in the Santa Fe County jail and will be transferred to the San Juan Juvenile Detention Center in Farmington.

In addition to the drive-by shooting, detectives have linked the teens to other shootings and aggravated assaults, according to the release.

China, US diplomats clash over human rights, pandemic origin
Top U.S. and Chinese diplomats appear to have had another sharply worded exchange, with Beijing saying it told the U.S. to cease interfering in its internal affairs and accusing Washington of politicizing the search for the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. Senior Chinese foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi and Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a phone call Friday that revealed wide divisions in a number of contentious areas, including the curtailing of freedoms in Hong Kong and the mass detention of Muslims in the northwestern Xinjiang region. Calls for a more thorough investigation into the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 are particularly sensitive for China because of suggestions that it might have have escaped from a laboratory in the central city of Wuhan, where cases were first discovered.

Former President Donald Trump has made no secret of his long list of political enemies. Two House Democrats disclosed this week that their smartphone data was secretly obtained by the Trump Justice Department as part of an effort to uncover the source of leaks related to the investigation of Russian-related election interference. It was a stunning revelation that one branch of government was using its power to gather private information on another, a move that carried echoes of President Richard Nixon during Watergate.
