Suicidal Woman Shot in Duluth during Stand-off with Police
A Cloquet woman was shot by police and is in critical condition after allegedly threatening officers with a gun Thursday night.
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Augustana Lutheran Church around 11 Thursday night on reports of a 48-year-old female threatening to commit suicide by firearm.
When authorities arrived at the church, the woman got out of her car and pointed the gun at police multiple times.
Two officers then opened fire, striking the woman twice.
She was transported to Essentia Health-Duluth in critical condition.
The incident remains under investigation by the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
