Shooting In North Dakota Leaves Cop, Suspect Dead In US, 2 Critically Hurt

A shooting incident in North Dakota in the US has left one police officer and the suspect dead while two others are critically injured,

At least one police officer died and two others were critically injured in yet another shooting incident in the United States on Friday, reported the Associated Press. It added that the shooting in Fargo, North Dakota also killed the suspect, police said. As per AP, the shooting happened before 3 p.m. on a busy street. Multiple witnesses said a man opened fire on police officers before other officers shot the suspect. In a statement late Friday, police said a civilian also was seriously wounded.

The police have not provided information about a possible motive or circumstances leading to the shooting. Meanwhile, AP stated, the identities of the slain officers and the suspect were withheld pending notification of their families. The Fargo Police Department said the investigation is ongoing.

“We sincerely are asking for your patience and our community’s patience and understanding as the Fargo Police Department works through this incident,” Gregg Schildberger, Fargo chief communications officer, said Friday evening, as per AP.

“This is very difficult on all of us. We are releasing as much information as we can at this point,” Schildberger said, as quoted by AP. “We appreciate all the messages from the community that have been given to us in support of our officers.”

Sanford Medical Center Fargo spokesperson Paul Heinert said in an email that the hospital “did receive patients stemming from today’s shooting incident in Fargo.” He said that all the updates on their conditions would come from the Fargo police.

Several witnesses reported seeing and hearing gunshots in the area. 

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation was working with federal, state and local law enforcement in response to a “shooting incident” but provided no details of what happened, the AP mentioned in the report. 

Police and other agencies across the region posted their sympathies for Fargo police on Facebook. “Thinking of our brothers and sisters in Fargo,” a post from the South Dakota Fraternal Order of Police said.
