Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says a man has died after an officer-involved-shooting in south Minneapolis Wednesday night.

Dispatch received a 911 call around 9:03 p.m. from the 3000 block of 29th Avenue about an armed man who was talking to himself, according to O’Hara. A second call at 9:19pm a few blocks away on the 3400 block of Hiawatha reported an armed man waving a gun and acting irrational.

Police say marked Minneapolis Police squad cars responded to the scene, which quickly turned into a foot chase.

There was a confrontation a short time later and deadly use-of-force was used. A news release from the police department states that officers identified themselves and told the suspect to drop the gun multiple times. Authorities state that officers rendered medical aid and the man was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“I have no reason to think this is anything other than a justifiable and lawful use-of-force by police officers,” O’Hara said.

The chief says four officers responded to the call and three were involved in the deadly encounter. Police recovered a handgun from the scene. When asked if the suspect fired the weapon, O’Hara noted the gun appeared to be jammed.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was called in and will lead the investigation.

As of 5 a.m. Thursday, BCA agents were still at the scene, and the northbound lanes of Hiawatha from 35th to 33rd streets were closed, causing some drivers to find an alternate route for their morning drive.

The involved officers will be placed on standard administrative leave while the investigation plays out. Their names, as well as the suspect’s name, haven’t been released as of this time.
