Two Minnesota police officers and a paramedic were shot dead during an hours-long standoff with a man who barricaded himself inside his home with his family, according to officials.
Officers Matthew Ruge, 27, and Paul Elmstrand, 27, along with 40-year-old paramedic and firefighter Adam Finseth, were gunned down while trying to rescue a family from a house in a sleepy Burnsville neighborhood about 15 miles south of Minneapolis early Sunday, investigators announced during a press conference.
The still-unnamed shooter died at the scene, from what reports said appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, though his cause of death is still unconfirmed.
A fourth officer was injured in the shooting, but is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Authorities had responded to domestic abuse calls about a man who had barricaded himself inside his home with his family — a woman and seven children ages 2 to 15 — around 1:50 a.m., police said. The call had been made by a resident inside the home.
