Investigators: Man who killed 3 Minnesota responders opened fire without warning, inside his house
Associated PressST. PAUL, Minn. — The man who killed two Minnesota police officers and a firefighter-paramedic opened fire on officers without warning while they were inside his house, after they had been negotiating with him for around 3 1/2 hours, investigators revealed Thursday. “The officers entered the home and negotiated with Gooden for about three and a half hours in an effort to get him to surrender peacefully,” the BCA statement said. “At about 5:26 a.m., Gooden opened fire on the officers inside the home without warning.” Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, both 27, and Sgt. “Gooden continued to fire shots out of the home at officers and the armored vehicle that had personnel inside,” the BCA said. “Lots of questions, and really not enough information to provide any objective answers at this point,” said Eells, a retired Colorado Springs, Colorado, police commander who formerly led that department’s SWAT team.
