A shelter-in-place order was sent to phones across the Twin Cities, reaching devices in Ramsey, Hennepin and Dakota Counties around 10:50 a.m. Ramsey County officials later said that this was accidental, and that the alert was only supposed to reach a small part of Roseville.

A second alert gave clarifying information about 25 minutes later, and the all clear was announced when the suspect was apprehended at about 11:30 a.m.
