Wright Co Deputy Shoots Armed Man at Store

(Montrose, MN) — Authorities are investigating the shooting of an armed man by a Wright County sheriff’s deputy Monday afternoon at a store in Montrose.

The sheriff’s office says deputies tried to arrest the suspect on outstanding warrants outside the Dollar General, but he refused to comply and brandished a firearm. Investigators say the man continued to resist arrest after less-than-lethal measures were deployed and a deputy shot him.

The suspect was treated by deputies at the scene and taken to the hospital.

No other injuries were reported.

The Minnesota Bureau of Apprehension is now leading the investigation.
