Brooklyn Park police say an officer shot and injured a man carrying a gun as they responded to a report of a baby not breathing early Sunday.
Police arrived at a home on the 8700 block of Queens Gardens North around 4 a.m., according to a news release from department. They found a 7-month-old in critical condition. The baby was taken to the hospital and died there.
Brooklyn Park officers stayed at the residence to investigate. At 4:41 a.m., officers "encountered an adult male with a gun," the news release said. One of the officers shot the man, who was injured and transported to a hospital. He is expected to survive.
A gun was found on the scene and the incident was filmed on body-worn cameras, according to BPPD.
As is often the case in officer use-of-force incidents, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is also investigating.
