Dereck Anklan said deputies and other law enforcement officers responded Saturday morning to reported gunfire near the 12,000th block of Stacy Trail in Lindstrom, then shot and killed the suspect. He said there was no longer a threat to the public after the response.
At approximately 11 o’clock this morning, the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office began receiving 911 calls regarding shots being fired at a residence near the 12,000th block of Stacy Trail, Anklan said. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded, and the suspect was ultimately shot by law enforcement. The suspect is deceased and there is no threat to the public.
Stacy Trail response
Anklan said deputies and several other law enforcement agencies responded to the residence off Stacy Trail after the 911 calls came in. The statement places the first calls at about 11 a.m. Saturday and shows the response moved quickly from a report of shots fired to a multi-agency scene in a Lindstrom neighborhood.
No law enforcement officers were injured. The public statement also makes clear that the immediate danger passed once officers made contact with the suspect and the shooting ended.
Two additional involved individuals
Anklan said there were two additional involved individuals. One is deceased, and one was transported to a regional trauma center. The statement does not explain how those two people were connected to the shooting response, leaving that part of the incident for investigators to sort out.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the officer-involved shooting. That makes the state agency the next authority to piece together the sequence at the Lindstrom residence, including how the broader scene developed around the suspect, the other death and the trauma-center transport.
