Shooting Suspect Did Not Take Hostages
According To Ramsey County State's Attorney
A North Dakota prosecutor says the suspect accused of shooting at a state trooper did not take hostages before shooting himself in an apartment.
The Ramsey County State’s Attorney said that while other people were in the Devils Lake apartment with 23-year-old Daniel TwoHearts, “this was not a hostage situation.”
Police were negotiating with TwoHearts when he shot himself.
He was airlifted to a hospital. His condition is not known.
The ordeal began Thursday night with an attempted traffic stop in Grand Forks.
Authorities say TwoHearts fired at a trooper who was not hit and stole two cars, including one with a baby inside.
The baby was not hurt.
