His parents escaped unharmed…but Opdahl engaged Fargo Police officers and SWAT units in a standoff.
Eventually, negotiators were able to talk Opdahl into peacefully surrendering to law enforcement. They learned that Opdahl possessed several ghost guns
Privately made firearms – more commonly known as “ghost guns” – are especially attractive because they’re untraceable.
