A suspect is dead after a fatal officer-involved shooting in Fillmore County Sunday.
Officials say a felony domestic assault suspect left the scene of the assault, and once he was located at his residence, refused to cooperate with Fillmore County Deputies. A request for assistance was made due to the suspect’s prior history and reported access to weapons. A Rochester officer engaged the armed suspect and shot him. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the shooting.
The names of the officer and the suspect have not yet been released.
