New Mexico officer stabbed to death while on duty before suspect is shot and killed by witness, police say

A New Mexico police officer died after he was stabbed by a suspect who was shot and killed by a witness to the attack on Sunday evening, police said. Las Cruces Patrol Officer Jonah Hernandez was stabbed at least once shortly before 5 p.m. after responding to a report of a trespasser, the Las Cruces Police Department said in a statement posted on social media.

A witness to the attack used the officer's police radio to call for help after the stabbing, but Hernandez died after he was taken to MountainView Regional Medical Center in Las Cruces, police said.

CBS affiliate KDBC-TV posted video of what appears to be first responders rushing Hernandez and the suspect to the hospital.
