MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — It started out as a 911 call about a domestic incident in a Minneapolis suburb. It ended with two police officers, a firefighter and the suspect dead and a third officer wounded. A medical examiner says Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, and Firefighter Adam Finseth died of gunshot wounds at a Minneapolis hospital Sunday morning. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension named the man who killed them as Shannon Gooden. A medical examiner said Tuesday that he shot himself in the head. Court records show Gooden wasn’t legally allowed to have guns and had been entangled in a yearslong dispute over the custody and financial support of his three oldest children.
