At some point, the subject inside opened fire, Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, told reporters at a news conference Sunday. At least one of the responders was killed inside the home, he said, and several officers returned fire.
The suspect, who has not been publicly identified and had “several guns and a large amount of ammunition,” is also dead, Evans said. Seven children who were inside the home, ages 2 to 15, were able to leave and are safe.
Another officer, Sgt. Adam Medlicott, was injured and hospitalized. He was believed to have non-life-threatening injuries, the city said.
The murderer was a black dude who had felony assault charges reduced and his ability to purchase firearms reinstated by a Soros appointed judge.
