Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said officers went to check on the Hortman home after learning that a state senator had been shot just miles away. They arrived at the home just after the suspect had carried out the attack. "When they arrived at Melissa's house, they noticed that there was a police vehicle in the driveway with the emergency lights on and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house. When our officers confronted him, the individual immediately fired upon officers, which exchanged gunfire, and the suspect retreated back into the home."

The suspect then fled through the back door of the Hortman home and he remains at large as of 10 a.m. Saturday.
