Man suspected of shooting 2 Minnesota deputies found dead
MN officer's used a robot and drones to confirm that the man was dead
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities say a man suspected of shooting two deputies in the central Minnesota town of Winsted is dead.
The shootings happened around midday Monday after the deputies went to the home to serve an arrest warrant. After hours of getting no further response, officers sent a robot and drones inside the house around 6:30 p.m. and found the man dead, McLeod County Sheriff Tim Langenfeld said.
"It’s not the ending we wanted," Langenfeld said. "We would have liked to see a successful ending with no one else injured or dead."
