BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating a shooting and standoff in Brooklyn Park that eventually ended with the suspect's surrender.
On Thursday, July 21, Brooklyn Park Police responded to a home on the 8200 block of Douglas Lane around 3:40 p.m. after getting reports that an "unwanted male" was inside the house.
Upon arrival, police learned that the suspect was armed and breaking out windows inside the residence.
According to Brooklyn Park police, the suspect refused to surrender and fired the gun several times. At one point the suspect and an officer exchanged gunfire, police said.
Throughout the standoff, police said the suspect continued to shoot the weapon inside the home, and at one point a neighbor who left her residence said the suspect started firing at her.
Multiple agencies, including SWAT and crisis negotiators, were eventually able to negotiate a surrender with the shooter. He was taken into custody and is currently held at the Hennepin County Jail.
Police said Thursday that no one was hurt in the shooting.
In a news release on Friday afternoon, the Minnesota BCA identified the suspect as Abdulwahid Hedo, 30. The officer who fired his weapon was identified as Officer Hassan Robertson, a five-year veteran of the Brooklyn Park Police Department.
