BURNSVILLE, Minn. – A Burnsville woman accused of making straw purchases of weapons used in the deadly shooting of three Burnsville first responders is pleading not guilty to eleven charges.
Ashley Dyrdahl, 35, allegedly purchased the two AR-15 weapons used in the February 18th shooting just weeks before the ambush.
BCA Superintendent Drew Evans says Dyrdahl knew Shannon Gooden was not allowed to have firearms.
“She even wrote a letter trying to help him restore his firearms rights,” Evans said. “And when Shannon Gooden couldn’t get guns through legal means, Ashley Drydahl assisted him to get the guns through illegal actions.”
Evans adds that while it’s clear Gooden was not the shooter, she still must be held accountable for her actions.
