ST. PAUL, Minn. – The woman who purchased the guns used to kill two Burnsville, Minnesota officers and a firefighter/paramedic last year has pleaded guilty.
Ashley Dyrdahl, 36, pleaded guilty in federal court on Tuesday to two counts of straw purchasing guns – buying guns for someone who isn’t legally allowed to have them.
Dyrdahl’s boyfriend, 38-year-old Shannon Gooden, fired more than 100 rounds from the illegally purchased weapons last February when officers responded to his and Dyrdahl’s home on a domestic abuse call. Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, and firefighter/paramedic Adam Finseth, were killed.
Gooden also injured police Sgt. Adam Medlicott before taking his own life.
