The incident occurred about 10:25 p.m. Thursday at the Holiday store in Wyoming, police said.
Officers and emergency personnel gave immediate medical attention to the 51-year-old woman, who is from St. Paul, before she died at the scene, said Police Chief Neil Bauer. Her identity will be released once family notifications are made, Bauer said.
The suspect, a 37-year-old man from Wyoming whose identity was being withheld, fled in a white pickup truck but called police before 10 a.m. Friday from his home, Bauer said.
The man was arrested at the residence without incident, and the pickup truck was located nearby, the chief said. Charges have yet to be filed. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
Other than saying the two people were in "a domestic disturbance" leading up to the woman being hit, the chief declined to say how the two were known to each other.
The pilot was the only person inside the plane, and was not injured in the emergency landing, according to the State Patrol.
