In press briefings held soon after the incident, both Secretary of Homeland Security
Kristi Noem and Vice President
JD Vance mentioned that the shooting suspect had been injured previously in a traffic stop six months prior to this incident. Their statements led to the
Star Tribune's discovery of the case describing such an incident.
