Marshall police fatally shot a man early Sunday morning after responding to a domestic disturbance where the man was observed actively stabbing a woman at the scene.

According to a press release from James Marshall, the department's director of public safety, police were responding to a domestic disturbance on the 500 block of Brussells Court. The officer “made contact with the male subject, a taser was deployed, and at one point during the contact with the male, shots were fired.”

“A loss of life is always incredibly sad and impactful to the family and the community,” said Marshall.

The woman was airlifted to a hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension confirmed on Monday she died of her injuries. 

Officials say there is no threat to the public as it is “believed to not be a random attack.”

The BCA said it will release more details after its investigation.

Correction (Dec. 17, 2023): An earlier version of this report misstated whether the attack was random. The article has been updated.
