The suspect, described as a white male in his 20s, initially crashed a vehicle with stolen license plates before jacking a second vehicle at gunpoint into the car with a gunshot, according to police in Burnsville, about 15 miles south of Minneapolis.
Police chased the stolen vehicle while the man allegedly shot at police, the release said. The man then crashed this vehicle while still firing at police and several officers fired back, the release said.
The man was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. No officers were injured and the agents involved were given standard administrative leave, the release said.
The body and camera data of the officers who shot the man will be handled by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which will lead the investigation, the release said.
