Two police officers and a firefighter-paramedic were killed Sunday while responding to a domestic abuse call in the Minneapolis suburb of Burnsville. A SWAT team killed the shooter.
Officials said the officers arrived at the house about 2:30 a.m. to find a man armed and barricaded with family members, including multiple children. The shooting started about three hours later. The paramedic was shot while trying to help a wounded officer.
Police swarmed the neighborhood, and “at approximately 8 a.m., the suspect was reported to be dead.” City officials said the other family members were safe.
