GLYNDON, Minn. (KFGO) – The sound of a gunshot can be heard on a Glyndon, Minn. police officer’s dash cam video when a bullet flew by the officer during a traffic stop in June.
Officer Brandon Boe was citing a driver along U.S. Highway 10 when the gunshot came from an area northeast of his location. KFGO News obtained the video through an open records request.
“I think I just took a shot” Boe said in a law enforcement radio transmission. “I’m not sure, but that sounded like a gunshot past my head.”
“It came from behind me, by that tree line back there. It was one shot. It went over my head” Boe told responding officers. “It was not a firework. There was no ‘pop’ afterwards. I heard the bullet whiz by my head.”
No one was hurt. Investigators used a thermal-imaging device and spent several hours looking for clues, but nothing was found.
Glyndon Police Chief Mike Cline has said it’s not clear whether the shot was directed at the officer, or connected to wildlife poachers.
