Minnesota Mourns Loss of Three First Responders Killed in Burnsville Standoff

Thousands gather to honor the lives of two police officers and a firefighter-paramedic, who were shot while responding to a domestic incident.

Thousands of mourners attended a memorial service at Grace Church in Eden Prairie for the three Burnsville first responders killed in the line of duty.
Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, both 27, and firefighter-paramedic Adam Finseth, 40, were remembered for their dedication, selflessness, and service to the community.
The memorial service featured speeches and eulogies highlighting the contributions and character of the slain first responders.
A procession of public safety vehicles from the church to Burnsville marked one of the largest outpourings for fallen officers in Minnesota history.
Investigators say the shooter, Shannon Gooden, opened fire without warning during a standoff, later killing himself.
