The Minnesota BCA is investigating an exchange of gunfire between officers and two motorists in Wadena County Saturday night. Here’s the full description as provided by the BCA:
At approximately 8:48 p.m. Saturday evening, a Wadena County Sheriff’s Office deputy attempted to stop a vehicle for a traffic offense near the intersection of 205th Ave. and 280th St. in North Germany Township. The vehicle eventually stopped near 205th Ave and 270th St.
A struggle ensued between the deputy and the motorist. A second motorist then arrived on scene and a short time later, a Sebeka Police Department officer arrived and the struggled continued. A short time later, at least one of the motorists began shooting at the officers. One of the officers returned fire. All four were struck by gunfire.
