MINNEAPOLIS – Police shot and killed a man early Thurs. morning, ending an hours-long standoff at an apartment complex that began with a shooting before officers arrived, officials said.
Authorities negotiated with the man for about six hours before police shot him. They didn’t immediately say exactly what prompted police to shoot. The man was taken to a hospital where he died.
The standoff began about 9:30 Wednesday night after a mother with two young children reported a man was trying to shoot into their apartment through the wall. When officers arrived, they heard more shots being fired and began evacuating the building.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the shooting.
