Prestidge said one person was taken into custody but that she didn’t know if they were the shooter. She also said she didn’t have further information on the attack, including how many people were shot or if anyone was killed.
BUFFALO, Minn. – A gunman angry over his medical care opened fire at a clinic here, killing one and injuring four others before being captured by police.
A 67-year-old suspect was in custody. The shooting happened late Tuesday morning at the Allina Health clinic in the city about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis.
Buffalo Police Chief Pat Budke said the department received a call of shots fired just before 11 a.m. local time. City and county officers arrived to find several people injured, as well as the suspect, and the officers tried to help, Budke said. There is no information at this point that leads us to believe that there is any nexus with any type of domestic terrorism, Budke said, pausing to hold back tears. We are very familiar with the suspect.
