Someone fires a shot on a highway, then(most likely) keeps driving, so all of the cops for 3 cities swarm in to shut down half of the highway for half of an hour? Are they not sure if he's hiding under the concrete rails?

Hennepin County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Lisa Kiava confirms that an officer involved shooting is the reason for the closure, but she could offer no details.

Images from Sky 11 show a body laying outside a white sedan on the median of westbound I-394 near Hopkins Crossroads. The body appears to be a woman.

Great I need to go the other way in 15 minutes, which means that will be backed up too.

I hope it was not an officer that was shot.

Strib is saying: "...A Golden Valley police officer shot and wounded a suspect near Hopkins Crossroad in Minnetonka. Traffic on the heavily traveled freeway could be disrupted into the afternoon rush hour...."

Shooting by police halts I-394 traffic

ETA: Sounds like the west-bound lane is where it occurred; east-bound traffic has 1 lane reopened.

A woman was fatally shot by a Golden Valley police officer. Kare11 Fox9 KSTP-5

According to a statement from the G.V. Police Chief:

"The lone occupant of the vehicle, an adult female, was in possession of a handgun and was subsequently fatally shot by the officer."

Hopefully she did more than just possess a handgun. I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

I'm interested in hearing the details in why he shot her. I don't think it's a secret that more and more women are carrying.

For S&Gs I'll go the other direction and assume she pulled. Cali plates. Can't trust them Cali chicks.

Let's TRY not practice our conclusion jumping.

What advice to you give to someone who has been involved in a shooting? Shut up and lawyer up. Why be surprsied when a cop takes your advice?

+1 must wait for the facts to come out. It might take some time though.
