ELK RIVER, Minn. — One of the five law enforcement officers injured in a shootout in central Minnesota earlier this month has been released from the hospital.
The Elk River Police Department said the officer was shot in the right arm and required more than nine hours of surgery.
Members of a drug task force were serving a warrant at Karl Holmberg’s home near Princeton when they were met with gunfire.
Three members of the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office and an officer with the Princeton Police Department were shot, along with the Elk River officer. Two of the Sherburne deputies were shot in bulletproof vests, and the rest of the officers suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
Holmberg was also injured in the exchange. He has been charged with six counts of first-degree attempted murder and six counts of first-degree assault.
