NORTH BRANCH, MN (AP) - Authorities say a sheriff's deputy in Chisago County has shot and killed a man at a residence in North Branch.
 
Officers were dispatched to the home about 9:20 p.m. Sunday to investigate a disturbance. North Branch police say when officers arrived, they were told a man inside the residence was armed and possibly had fired his gun.
