MANDAN, N.D. – A North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper shot and killed a man following a pursuit on Interstate 94 in the western part of the state.
The shooting happened around 8:20 p.m. Tuesday about 13 miles west of Mandan. The trooper joined Morton County sheriff’s deputies in chasing a reported reckless driver. Forty-five-year-old Craig Knutson of Billings, Montana, was killed in the shooting.
The patrol says a gun was found in Knutson’s vehicle, but Maj. Thomas Iverson declined to say whether Knutson had fired it or was holding it before the trooper shot him.
It’s not clear if any dash-camera video recorded the shooting, and none of the officers were wearing body cameras.
