Burnsville, MN (KROC-AM News) - There was another deadly officer involved in the Twin Cities on Sunday.
The Burnsville Police Department issued a statement indicating a carjacking suspect was shot and killed in the vicinity of the interchange of I-35W and Highway 13 north of the Burnsville Center shopping mall around 3 PM. The person who was killed was described as a white male in his 20s and was transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Burnsville police say, according to initial reports, officers encountered the suspect driving a vehicle with stolen license plates, and the motorist was involved in a crash. Soon after, police received reports the same man had carjacked a vehicle driven by a woman at gunpoint, which led to a police pursuit.
