Police-involved shooting that killed two men in Moorhead was justified

MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR) – Clay County Attorney Brian Melton says charges will not be filed against police officers involved in an August shooting that left two men dead in Moorhead.

Melton said there’s “no question in my mind” that the shooting deaths of 42-year-old Nathan Heiberg and 41-year-old Lucas Heiberg were justified.

The men were shot after police responded to an apartment in the 2400 block of Third Avenue North for a domestic assault. A woman told police that two men assaulted her, and that there were two kids inside the apartment.

A gun was fired when officers started to go inside. Red River Valley SWAT was called in and nearby apartments evacuated.

The woman and children were not hurt.

Three Fargo police officers who fired their weapons, Michael Anderson, Kyle Seehusen and Tyler Seehusen were placed on administrative leave.

Fargo Police Chief Dave Zibolski says an internal investigation is continuing, but says he agrees with Melton’s conclusions.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigated the incident.
