The urgent radio dispatches went out on what had been a quiet Friday evening in Brooklyn Park.
“Brooklyn Park Officer’s been shot.”
Then moments later: “An officer down at … Georgia Avenue.”
A frightening scene along the 6500 block of the avenue, not far from Crystal Airport and south of Interstate 94.
One nearby resident recalling he heard twenty shots from inside his house.
Then, an urgent search, involving more than 100 officers, before a suspect was captured.
“There was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and both officers,” Brooklyn Park Police Chief Craig Enevoldsen told reporters many hours later. “At this point, I think everyone is just taking an opportunity to try to take a deep breath and soak in what happened.”
