Police say shots were fired at a Willmar police officer after he responded to a report of a home invasion.
Authorities say the officer wasn't hurt, but a squad car, a nearby home and a stop sign were hit by gunfire Wednesday night.
Police say officers twice were called to a residence on a report that two gunmen had entered the home. The second time they responded, an officer spotted a person running from the home toward a nearby car in which three other suspects were waiting. Police says multiple shots were fired at the officer.
