Duluth, MN – A law enforcement-related shooting in St. Louis County resulted in one death Monday, according to Sheriff Gordon Ramsay, who shared a public statement expressing condolences to all involved.
According to the sheriff’s post, the incident “required an officer to do something no law enforcement professional ever wants to do.” Ramsay extended his thoughts to the family of the person who lost their life, as well as to the officers and community now coping with the aftermath.
In his message, Sheriff Ramsay emphasized unity and restraint in leadership, quoting historian Doris Kearns Goodwin on the need for strength without hostility. “We need leaders who respond with compassion, restraint, and collaboration,” Ramsay said.
Authorities have not yet released details regarding the individual involved or the circumstances leading up to the shooting. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension typically investigates officer-involved shootings in the state; no confirmation has been issued yet on whether they are involved in this case.
Updates are expected as official reports become available.
