(BUFFALO, Minn.) Five people are hurt and a suspect is in custody after a shooting at the Allina Health Clinic Crossroads campus in Buffalo, Minnesota, on Tuesday, the Buffalo police said.
Law enforcement is “very familiar with the suspect,” identified as 67-year-old Greg Ulrich of Buffalo, said Buffalo Police Chief Pat Budke and Wright County Sheriff Sean Deringer. Authorities believe this was a targeted incident and that he acted alone, Budke and Deringer said.
“There is no information at this point that leads us to believe there is any nexus with any type of domestic terrorism,” Budke said.
