Drug task force officers suspected a Minnesota couple of selling methamphetamine when they raided their house in an operation that left five officers and one resident wounded last week, according to a search warrant released Wednesday. Gunfire broke out last Thursday when Sherburne County Drug Task Force officers attempted to execute the search warrant at the home of Karl Thomas Holmberg, 64. It wasn't immediately clear from the documents available Wednesday whether investigators found any drugs at the home, but at least one more warrant had not been released as of Wednesday evening.
Five officers were shot in Glendorado Township, near Princeton, while executing a search warrant Thursday morning. A 64-year-old suspect has been arrested.
Karl Holmberg, 64, faces six counts of attempted murder in the first degree of a peace officer and six counts of assault in the first-degree using deadly force against a peace officer.
