Rio Rancho man recalls 1961 bank robbery near fatal shootout
Salvatore Accardi, then 52 and living in Rio Rancho, survived a 1961 bank robbery in Brooklyn after bluffing with an empty gun against machine gun fire from FBI's most wanted suspect Bobby Randell Wilcoxson. Accardi, awarded Valor medals, later served in Albuquerque and now reflects on the case and his son's police career. Martin Marietta funds $10,000 grant to SIPI in Albuquerque, supporting Indian data processing training and equipment upgrades as enrollment rises and budget tightens.
