BEMIDJI -- A former employee of Mi Rancho was killed in a shooting at the restaurant Saturday morning.

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office 911 Center received a call of a shooting at about 10 a.m. at the popular Bemidji eatery at 677 Anne St. NW, before the restaurant opened for the day, according to a release from Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp.

Witnesses told officers that several employees were preparing for the restaurant to open when a “former employee forced his way into the back door of the business and started an altercation with several employees. This altercation ended with a shooting resulting in the death of the former employee,” the release said.

I'm well acquainted with Bemidji and this restaurant, as well as that part of town.

Crime in Bemidji usually involves young white wanna be wiggers, along with Natives with drug and alcohol problems.

And now, we have illegals on the local blotter.

"The name of the victim was not released as the man’s family lives in Mexico."

I spent time in Bemidji too. I especially like the statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe, almost right on the Lake. My parents had a lake cabin at Cass Lake, just a few miles east on Highway 2.

"I'm well acquainted with Bemidji and this restaurant"

I grew up in Bemidji, and I've never heard of it. I guess Anne St was out of range of typical bicycle riding.

I grew up in Bemidji,

I grew up in Grand Forks. Most people don't realize the Mississippi River runs right through and out of Lake Bemidji.

"the Mississippi River runs right through and out of Lake Bemidji."

'Bemidji' is the Ojibwa word for "the river runs through the lake". I'm one of the 'elite frozen few' in the US who grew up neither east nor west of the Mississippi, but rather NORTH of it.
