Shelter-in-place ended for Burnsville neighborhood following ‘active incident’

A shelter-in-place order for a neighborhood in Burnsville has been lifted following an “active public safety incident” on Sunday night.

Burnsville police asked people on the 1800 block of Country View Drive to shelter in place around 7 p.m., according to a post on X from the department. About an hour later, the shelter-in-place was lifted after a person was taken into custody.

Early Monday, police told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS officers were called to the address for a domestic incident and the man wouldn’t come out of the house. Eventually, the man did, and he was arrested without incident. His name hasn’t been released as of this publishing.

“Stuff like this doesn’t happen often, so it raises alarms,” said Allie Jensen of Burnsville.
