PRINCETON, Minn. â Five officers have been shot in Minnesota's Benton County Thursday morning. The suspect is not yet in custody.
According to the county sheriff's office, the incident occurred near the intersection of 190th Avenue Northeast and Glendorado Road Northeast in Glendorado Township, which is located just west of Princeton.
Officials confirmed with WCCO later that five officers were shot. Three officers are being treated at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale and two others at St. Cloud Hospital. They all have non-life threatening injuries.
Officials say the suspect is still at the scene, but not yet in custody. The public has been advised to avoid the area.
Shortly before 11 a.m., WCCO's Sky4 chopper observed a person being loaded into an armored vehicle before being taken away to a nearby helicopter.
WCCO crews noted the presence of sheriff's deputies from Benton and Sherburn County, as well as Minnesota State Patrol squads. SWAT vehicles have also been seen at the scene, and there is at least one helicopter monitoring the area.
Glendorado Township is located about 60 miles northwest of Minneapolis.
Details are limited and this is a developing story. WCCO's Beret Leone and John Lauritsen are on the scene and we'll share more information as soon as we get it.
Somali jihadist?
Islamic related, thus terrorism? Or illegal alien? BLM, Antifa?
It's just as well. They would waste a lot of time arresting and booking the suspect, only to release him on little to no bail.
North of my house by about 30 minutes drive.
Pre Friday jihad?
â Somali jihadist?â
That was my first thought. That state is full of them
From around Princeton? More likely meth lab...
I guess I’m naive....how do five police officers get shot? And nothing happens to the suspect during the incident? Is the suspect a member of the protected class so the coppers were “afraid” of a confrontation? And we wonder why crime is going through the roof.....
There have been a couple of high-density apartment buildings that have gone up in Princeton. Most of the surrounding communities are middle to lower-middle class.
Possibly.
Whatever he is, we should be grateful for his poor marksmanship.
If you are constantly vigilant against rip crews, and believe the breaking down of your defenses is a rip crew instead of the police, this could happen, it could happen fairly easily.
Warrant service on a bad guy that knew they were coming sounds likely vs random jihad syndrome.
“Islamic related, thus terrorism? Or illegal alien? BLM, Antifa?”
All very possible, and we will soon know who to hold accountable
Took the Twins loss pretty hard.
They just had the jihadist in Fargo a month or so, ago, that shot 3 cops.
We’ll never know their motive.
CBS video showed LE camped up at the Lutheran church right next to a farmstead.
Betting warrant service on someone who doesn’t want to give up their farm or had a side business as a recreational pharmacologist...
Maybe they’ll give us the skinny any time now.
