Residents in parts of Brooklyn Park were told to shelter in place on Monday night as police searched for a suspect who reportedly fired a gun during a family dispute.
The suspect remained at large as of early Tuesday.
The initial call was to a home on 78th Avenue North, north of Brookdale Drive, at about 9:40 p.m. Monday. There were no reports of injuries. Police said the suspect left the home on foot.
“Officers responded to the area and attempted to locate the suspect. Due to the nature of the incident area (residents) were requested to remain in their homes,” police said in an update early Tuesday.
Several armored vehicles, SWAT teams and a State Patrol helicopter took part in the search over several hours. Authorities said early Tuesday that they were unable to locate the suspect. The investigation continues.
Police have not released further details about the suspect, or the incident that prompted the search.
