MOORHEAD, MN (trfnews.i234.me)—Breaking news out of Moorhead, Minnesota late Friday afternoon, where police have set up a command post in the area of Sunset Circle following a report of a possible shooting.
According to radio traffic, a man claimed he had shot two people and was now barricaded inside a residence in the neighborhood. Law enforcement quickly responded, locking down the area and taking precautionary tactical measures.
However, as of 4:37 p.m., radio traffic indicated that a woman—possibly the suspect’s mother—had exited the home, and authorities are now investigating whether this could be a swatting call—a false emergency report designed to elicit a large police response.
This is a developing situation, and we will provide more updates as they become available.
