"Minnesota Shooter with History of Gun Loss Commits Suicide After Killing 2 Officers and Paramedic"

The man who fatally shot two Minnesota police officers and a first responder died by suicide after barricading himself inside a home with seven children. Shannon Cortez Gooden, armed with multiple guns and ammunition, opened fire on law enforcement officers responding to a domestic violence call. He killed officers Paul Elmstrand, 27, and Matthew Ruge, 27, as well as Adam Finseth, 40, a firefighter and paramedic, and injured another officer before taking his own life. Gooden had a history of violence and was prohibited from owning firearms, but his attorney had tried to reverse the ban in 2020.
