Minnesota Police Investigate Overnight Targeted Shootings; Armed Suspect at Large

June 14, 2025 – Minnesota, USA: Authorities in Minnesota are actively investigating a series of targeted shootings that occurred overnight in Champlin and Brooklyn Park, sparking major concern across the state.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz addressed the situation early Saturday morning on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating: “I’ve been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. We will share more information soon.”

While no official police statement has yet been issued, unconfirmed reports circulating online suggest that two lawmakers may have been among those targeted in the attacks. However, their identities have not been released.

Emergency Alert Issued

Early Saturday, residents near the Edinburgh Golf Course in Brooklyn Park received an emergency alert on their mobile phones. The warning described an “armed and dangerous” suspect involved in multiple targeted shootings.

According to the alert:

• Shelter-in-place was ordered within a 3-mile radius of Edinburgh Golf Course.

• The suspect is described as a white male with brown hair, wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.

• He may misrepresent himself as law enforcement, making him especially dangerous.

• Authorities urged the public: “Do not approach. Call 911.”

Investigation Ongoing

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety, along with local police units, are leading the manhunt and coordinating a multi-agency response. Residents have been asked to remain vigilant and avoid the area if possible.

As of now, no arrests have been made, and the suspect remains on the run.

Authorities are expected to provide a full press briefing later today.
