ST. PAUL, MN – Two officers were shot in Minneapolis today, one fatally, while responding to a call. Representative Paul Novotny, R-Elk River, a former law enforcement officer, released the following statement.
"This is the day every officer and every officer's family dreads," said Novotny. "Every day, our officers put on the uniform not knowing what they'll face. The two officers shot today ran toward an active shooter, knowing it may cost them their lives. The loss of a member of the law enforcement family today is heartbreaking. I am praying for his family, for the other injured officer to make a full recovery, and for all the other victims of this horrific shooting."
