(KNOX) – A police officer in Crookston fatally shot a man during a confrontation at a homeless shelter late Sunday night.
Police Chief Darin Selzer says oficers were dispatched to the Care-and-Share shelter on a report of a fight in progress. They confronted a man “who was being combative toward officers and was not following officers’ verbal commands.”
Officers provided life-saving care, but the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The police chief’s statement did not say if the man was armed, but did say that no further details would be released at this time due to the ongoing investigation… which has been taken over by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
