UPDATE, NEVIS, Minn. – Three people are dead and a Hubbard County Sheriff’s Deputy is hurt after a shooting in Nevis, Minnesota Thursday night.

Deputies responded to a 911 call of a shooting at a home on the 100 block of Paul Bunyan Trail around 8:00. The sheriff’s office says when they arrived,  they found a dead woman outside the home and an armed suspect drove off in the victim’s vehicle before police arrived. A second shooting victim was still in the vehicle.

Deputies found the vehicle north of town and chased it for around 20 minutes with the suspect shooting at officers and hitting one. The suspect eventually went in the ditch on County Road 119. A deputy found the suspect outside the vehicle and they, and the suspect, exchanged gunfire. The suspect then got back in the vehicle and later died.

All three of the deceased were taken to the Ramsey County, Minnesota Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy and identification.

The injured deputy was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Park Rapids and later to Essentia in Fargo to be treated for a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

The BCA has been asked to investigate the officer-involved shooting. The deputy who shot at the suspect has been placed on standard administrative leave.
