The only statement about concealed carry permit I have read is the police say the local county had not issued one to the individual.

Someone familiar with the CHL/CCW process in MN should comment, but I don't think the local counties issue them.

I did see a statement by the police that state law prohibited them from releasing that information.

Yes, the local counties issue them. I have one and went to my local sheriffs office in the county seat to apply for and then pick up.
