Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has identified the officer and suspect in an officer-involved shooting on July 4th in Moorhead.
Officer Andrew Werk is being investigated after firing his gun during a chase with 23-year old Isiah Hopkins of Moorhead.
Hopkins is jailed in Clay County. He was wanted on charges of counterfeiting and theft of property on an unrelated warrant.
The BCA says Werk is on standard administrative leave. No one was hit by gunfire during the incident.
The incident began as a suspicious person investigation Sunday afternoon in the 2500 block of 4th Avenue North.
That’s when authorities say Hopkins fled on foot … and Werk gave chase.
Portions of the incident were captured on body and dash camera video.
