A statement from the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office said two men were found dead blocks apart from each other, one of them from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Shortly before 9 a.m., law enforcement from four agencies responded to a report of a shooting on the 200 block of Territorial Road NE., where they found a male outside a home suffering from a gunshot wound. He was declared dead at the scene.
Sometime later, officers located a suspect vehicle about a quarter-mile away, on the 11900 block of 7th Street NE. A man was found dead inside from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
