(KNSI) — The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Monticello on Tuesday night.
According to a press release from the Wright County Sheriff’s Office, just before 9:00, someone called 911 and reported a man with a large knife was in the street yelling. Deputies arrived and found the man walking in the 900 block of Golf Course Road. He ignored commands to drop his weapon and started walking toward the deputies. One of them deployed their taser, but the man kept advancing. Another deputy shot him. The man’s injuries are not life-threatening, and he was taken to North Memorial Health in Robbinsdale for treatment, where he is in stable condition.
None of the officers involved were injured, and they have been placed on leave, which the press release says is standard procedure. Body worn cameras were on and in use at the time.
