Authorities on Monday identified the two Minnesota police officers and one paramedic fatally shot this past weekend whens responding to a call in Burnsville, a suburb of the Twin Cities.
Burnsville city officials identified the victims as Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge and firefighter/paramedic Adam Finseth.
Sgt. Adam Medlicott, 38, was also shot but is expected to survive.
The incident occurred Sunday at about 1:50 a.m. when the officers responded to a call for a possibly armed suspect inside a house and several people also barricaded inside, including children from 2 to 15.
Law enforcement reportedly spent hours negotiating with the suspect, then paramedics came in for backup at about 5 a.m.
The yet-to-be suspect was reported dead at about 8 a.m., and the family members inside the home exited safely a short time later.
