OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING

October 10, 2014

On October 9, 2014 at 2157 hours, the St. Anthony Police

Department received a call to 2501 Lowry. The 911 caller
indicated he heard shots fired. Upon officers arrival, they were
directed to a particular trailer where witnesses heard the shots.
St. Anthony officers approached the trailer and a male from inside
the trailer indicated there were two people inside his trailer with
guns. In addition, this male (in the trailer) said that he had
exchanged gun fire with the other people inside the trailer. The
officer backed out and took up a position of cover.
East Metro SWAT was called and as SWAT officers approached
the trailer a male exited the trailer with a firearm and engaged
members of the team at which time he was shot. This male is
deceased.
East Metro SWAT was able to make entry into the trailer, search
it, and found no one else inside. At this time, we believe that there
were never any other individuals present in the trailer. We are
seeking no one and there is no public safety threat.
The BCA is investigating the shooting and this investigation is ongoing.
