Man With Knife Shot By Sheriff's Deputy In Crystal

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- One person was hospitalized after an officer-involved shooting in Crystal late Wednesday evening.

The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and Crystal Police Department responded at about 6:56 p.m. Wednesday to the 3600 block of Colorado Avenue North to serve an order for protection against an adult male for danger of domestic abuse. The court order required the male to be taken from the residence.

When officers attempted to remove him, the male grabbed a knife and locked himself in a bathroom. Officers negotiated with the man for more than two hours before making entry. Officers made several attempts to use a Taser on the man, which were not successful. Authorities say one of the sheriff's deputies fired his gun, striking the suspect.

The suspect was taken to North Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Authorities with the BCA recovered a knife at the scene. No officers were hurt during the incident, and nobody else was home at the time. Authorities say there is no threat to public.

Crystal police officers were wearing body cameras at the time of the incident. Plymouth and Robbinsdale police also assisted, but didn't enter the home.

The BCA is investigating the incident.
