Injured Laguna officer named; 1 dead, 1 sought after shooting at Route 66 Casino

The FBI says a Laguna police officer was shot Thursday morning at Route 66 Casino, but suffered only non-life threatening injuries.

The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. The FBI said Thursday morning that one suspect died in the officer-involved shooting and that one person was still on the loose. Neither of those people have been identified.

Laguna Pueblo police Thursday afternoon identified the officer who was wounded as 37-year-old Peter Tanzilli, a five-year veteran of the department.

The pueblo said Tanzilli is a U.S. Air Force veteran. He is in stable condition at UNM Hospital.

Earlier Thursday morning, the FBI released lapel video of the suspects and a silver Lexus, with New Mexico plate NAJ 489, that the suspects arrived in at the casino just before midnight. Officers had been investigating the car as stolen, according to the FBI.

The video contains multiple pictures of the vehicle and lapel camera of an officer confronting two suspects.

One of the suspects is seen fleeing the officer. That man was wearing black shorts with a white stripe, a black jacket with white trim and black shoes with a white sole.

The FBI says that man is the suspect who is still wanted and on the run. Anyone with information on the shooting or suspect at large is asked to contact the FBI’s Albuquerque office at 505-889-1300.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs, New Mexico State Police, and Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department all assisted the FBI with the investigation.

The case is still under investigation. Stay with KOB.com for updates.
