ST. PETER — Police reported an officer shot by a male suspect Thursday night was in stable condition in a Twin Cities hospital Friday.

The shooting of the officer yet to be identified, was reported at about 8 p.m. on the 2100 block of Bunker Lane in St. Peter following an attempt to stop a speeding vehicle, according to St. Peter Police.

The incident began when Mankato Police attempted to stop a vehicle speeding in Mankato. The driver, an adult male, refused to stop, fleeing northbound on Highway 169 into St. Peter, resulting in a pursuit.

Officers ahead of the pursuit deployed a tire deflation device near Highway 99 in St. Peter but the driver avoided it and continued fleeing through the city before stopping and entering the Bunker Lane residence, barricading himself there, according to a police.

Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the incident, securing the area. A shelter-in-place advisory was issued for nearby residents.

Law enforcement worked to negotiate a peaceful resolution but were unsuccessful. Multiple shots were fired during the incident that included a St. Peter officer being shot in the arm.

The officer was transported to River’s Edge Hospital & Clinic and later airlifted to a metro hospital for further treatment. The officer was listed in stable condition Friday, police said.

Officers eventually entered the St. Peter residence and located the suspect deceased, before the shelter-in-place advisory was lifted. Police said there is no ongoing public threat.

The suspect has not yet been identified.

St. Peter Police requested assistance from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and thanked assisting agencies.

“We are grateful for the assistance provided by responding law enforcement agencies, fire personnel, emergency medical services, dispatchers and medical professionals,” read the St. Peter Police news release. “The officer’s health and recovery remain our primary concern. Our thoughts are with the officer, their family, and police department members.
