BURNSVILLE, Minn. — The wife of Burnsville police officer Paul Elmstrand — one of the three first responders killed over the weekend — said he would "drop everything" to help out someone in need.
Two Burnsville police officers and a paramedic were fatally shot Sunday morning after responding to a call of an armed man barricaded inside a home with family members, including seven children. A third police officer was wounded and is expected to survive. The suspect was later found dead.
The responders who were killed have since been identified by the City of Burnsville as police officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge and firefighter/paramedic Adam Finseth.
