Police find man dead after standoff in Burnsville
A man was found dead at a Burnsville home following a standoff with police in Thursday evening.
After advising the public to steer clear of the 200 block of Carriage Lane as officers and a SWAT team responded to a domestic situation, Burnsville PD posted an update at 10:10 p.m. confirming the standoff was over.
"One male was found deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound," it said. "There is no threat to the public."
The "active situation" had been described as a domestic earlier in the evening. As of Friday morning, it's not clear how many other people were involved. There are no reports of other injuries.
Limitless Media posted video showing the size of the law enforcement response, which includes numerous squad cars, the South Metro SWAT team and fire crews.
It is the third major incident reported in Burnsville in recent days, with a man arrested following the fatal stabbing of a mother-of-three on Wednesday, and a body found at Interlachen Park early Saturday.
