According to the Virginia Police Department, water emergency crews were called to the scene around 4:09 p.m. for two people in the mine pit. Initial reports said a juvenile fell over the side of the pit near 3rd Street North and 1st Avenue North in Virginia.

HIBBING â The Hibbing City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved purchasing 25 body cameras for officers to equip its police department.
Police Chief Steve Estey told the Mesabi Tribune that those numbers ensure all uniformed police officers and investigators will have a camera. The chief placed the $68,000 order including installation from the Aurora-based Rogerâs Online Corporation on Thursday.
By buying the body cameras, Hibbingâs police department â the largest on the Iron Range â becomes the latest agency to adopt the technology. Virginia Police Chief Nicole Mattson has told the Mesabi Tribune via email that her officers have had body cameras âfor two years and they are integrated with our in-car cameras.â Estey, an ex-Virginia detective, wrote in an email that his former department uses the Watchguard system and his officers will do the same.
The stateâs top law enforcement agency has completed its investigation into the fatal shooting of Estavon Dominick Elioff in December in Mountain Iron by two sheriffâs deputies and started handing over findings to the St. Louis County Attorneyâs Office for review.
The turning over of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehensionâs findings was confirmed Wednesday morning. The investigation remains open during the review and the details are not made public per state law, said BCA spokeswoman Jill Oliveira.
Elioff, 19, a Hispanic and white man from Virginia, was fatally shot while allegedly fleeing from sheriffâs deputies Ryan Smith and Matt Tomsich, who are white, in the Mountain Iron woods last month.
