Officer-involved shooting takes place at Sioux Falls business

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Officers responded to an incident in central Sioux Falls on Wednesday morning that turned into a shooting with the suspect.

Sioux Falls Police say at approximately 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning, they along with the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office responded to an incident at a Get-n-Go convenience store on the 600 block of S. Minnesota Ave.

Lt. Nick Butler said that officers on the scene “took gunfire from inside the business and ultimately were involved in a shooting with the suspect.”
