Among the police officers that responded to a crash in Fargo, North Dakota, were a veteran and a couple of National Guard members. However, instead of evolving as crash scene responses would evolve, a gunman opened fire. One officer was killed, and two were injured. The gunfire exchange ended when a police officer shot the gunman.<\/p>\n

From Military Times:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I saw them firing at each other both at once,” Katriel Peterson said. “But soon as the shooter took a break the cop came walking towards him letting off round after round. There was already an officer down. And a family hiding just on the other side of the vehicle next to the shooter.”<\/p>\n

Asked if the shooting was a planned ambush of police, Zibolski told reporters: “The investigation into that is still ongoing.” He said he believed police had previously had some sort of contact with Barakat “but not anything significant.” He did not know what type of gun Barakat used.<\/p>\n

He said the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the FBI were investigating.<\/p>\n

For nine hours after the shooting, police had called it only a “critical incident.” Early details emerged from people who said they witnessed the shooting or heard gunshots. Shortly after the shooting, officers converged on a residential area about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) away and evacuated residents of an apartment building while gathering what they said was related evidence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
