ALBUQUERQUE, NM {KRQE} - The father of a teenage girl who was on her way into an Albuquerque abortion clinic, is accused of threatening to shoot a protester.
A protester standing just outside the clinic said the man lost it and said he was going to put a bullet through her heart.
These pictures were snapped by Operation Rescue, outside Southwestern Women's Options on Lomas near I-25.
It's one of the most controversial abortion clinics in the country, because it's one of the few that performs late-term abortions
A man, his wife and their 16 year old daughter pulled into the clinic for the teen's appointment Saturday.
Protesters claim the girl was interested in hearing about alternatives to abortion.
Bud Shaver with Operation Rescue was there and told News 13 what he saw, (The girl) took the information that she was offering but the gentlemen lashed out.
The female protester said the girl's father yelled he didn't believe in god and flipped her off.
The family went inside, but the man came back out.
The protester claims that's when the father told her not to speak to his daughter again or he would quote Put a bullet in her heart".
He kind of lifted up his shirt and showed something that was attached to his belt, Shaver said.
The woman called the cops.
They had all their guns drawn and they were kind of single file approaching the clinic and they had all of us, out on the street, kind of move behind the wall, they said we were in the kill zone, Shaver said.
The father told police he was stressed over his daughters abortion and got upset when the protesters started yelling his family would burn in hell.
He said he did tell the woman not to talk to his daughter, but he denied making a threat.
Police did find a magazine clip full of bullets on him, but no gun. The man did have several guns locked inside his car.
Police confiscated them, citing the volatility of the situation.
Police said the case has been forwarded to the district attorney to see if the father should be charged with anything.
We tried to get a hold of the owner of the clinic Doctor Curtis Boyd for comment on what happened, he did not get back to us.
