And the left's solution will be to outlaw guns (even more) by passing more gun laws that criminals would not and will not obey.

A set-up / ambush? A fake emergency call then shoot them when they show up? But who and why?

The good people of Minnesota imported muslims in a big way. I guess they didn’t figure it would be a problem.

Some years ago, I remember that in high crime areas, medical first responders were demanding their right to be armed on the job, but I don’t remember what became of it.

Most big city mayors don’t even want their police to be armed (except for their own security details, of course). So they never would agree for paramedics or firefighters to be armed.

I used to teach in a big city. We had school police. Our liberal school board would not allow the school police to be armed. Not even with pepper spray or a taser. So if a student has a knife or a gun, the first responders are usually the unarmed school police. Crazy.

Burnsville? One would have to know this sleepy suburb to understand what an Obamahole all of Minnesota has become.

Burnsville is a Somaliapolis suburb. The only solution to that miserable city is to detonate a 50 megaton atom bomb from space, just to be sure. /spit

Welp, if you detonate a W87 nuke with 340kt, you get 44,000 fatalities, and 150k+ injuries, BUT NO AMERICANS harmed.

Of course, they need more shootings like this so confiscation can go forward with willing citizens.

Latest reportage all claims that the call was for a domestic or a domestic-related shooting.

I’d be interested to know what protocol is for a call like that in that locale, how many cars, how many officers, tactical team...

Sounds like a War on Cops Ambush by a weak-minded punk who could not handle the realities of their own loser life and culture.
