Officers Down, Paramedic down, Burnsville PD, Minnesota
Police Officer Matthew Ruge and Police Officer Paul Elmstrand were shot and killed today after responding to a domestic incident in the 12600 block of 33rd Avenue at about 2:00 am. Also paramedic Adam Finseth was shot and killed.
A man had taken several family members hostage and barricaded himself inside of the home. As officers and rescue personnel arrived at the scene the man opened fire on them, fatally wounding Officer Elmstrand, Officer Ruge, and Burnsville Firefighter/Paramedic Adam Finseth. A Burnsville Police Department sergeant was also wounded. The man was found deceased in the home at about 8:00 am. Officer Elmstrand had served with the Burnsville Police Department for four years. Officer Ruge had served with the Burnsville Police Department for four years. Godspeed my brothers, may you all Rest In Peace.

This was barbaric. The guy did this in front of seven children to make matters worse. I really admire the hell out of all LEOs for their willingness to do this job.
