Man Charged With Shooting At 3 Officers Executing Search Warrant In Dayton

[UPDATE, May 18, 2021 -- The Hennepin County Attorney announced that all charges were dismissed against the man who was charged in January 2020.]

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Dayton man is charged with opening fire on three police officers.

The Hennepin County Attorney's office says officers went to the man's home on Tuesday afternoon to execute a search warrant. The 26-year-old locked them out, so the officers kicked down the door. That's when investigators say Hussien started shooting.

No one was injured, but one officer -- who was not wearing a bulletproof vest -- had five bullet holes in his clothing.

The man was charged Thursday with three counts of first-degree assault. He could face up to 60 years in prison if convicted.
