Residents say officers then went inside an apartment and found the body of a female resident.

Police say the 34-year-old woman was dead, and that there was a previous relationship between her and the man found bleeding in the entryway.

"It's really sad, it makes me very sad," resident Chelsea Wolfson said. "They say that we're safe, but they haven't said who did it or where that person is, so it's very scary."

Police say they are not looking for a suspect right now. They believe the crime scene is the result of an incident between two people.

The Anoka County Sheriff's Office is assisting with the investigation.

The man found in the entryway is in critical condition.

Police say they are working to determine what happened.
