Original:

At around 12:30 p.m., Friday, October 1, Duluth Police Officers responded to a 30-year-old male who was involved in an Attempted Armed Bank Robbery, Car Theft, and Vehicle Pursuit throughout the City of Duluth and surrounding cities.

At around 1:30 p.m., Duluth Police Officers responded to that same individual who was armed and dangerous that barricaded himself in an apartment building on Central Avenue. While inside his apartment, the male fired multiple shots. Our officers did not return fire.

The Duluth Police Department negotiated with the male and after multiple attempts to have him surrender peacefully we eventually used non-lethal tactics to gain compliance.

At around 8:30 p.m., the male eventually surrendered and was apprehended.  He was transported to a local hospital for an evaluation and then the St. Louis County Jail for pending charges.

There were no injuries involved in this call.

We want to thank the Hermantown Police Department, St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department, Minnesota State Patrol, Superior Police Department, and our officers for the hard work and dedication to peacefully end this standoff.

This is still an active investigation. No further information will be provided at this time.
