CLOQUET, Minn. (AP)–A shooter killed two people at a small-town Minnesota motel late Monday and the suspect was later found dead.
Police issued an alert at about 7 p.m. about an active shooter at a Super 8 motel in Cloquet and warned people in the surrounding area to shelter in place.
The order was lifted about 90 minutes later after police reported finding the suspected shooter dead and announced there was no longer any active threat.
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office later said two people had been found dead along with the suspect at the motel and in a parked vehicle.
Cloquet is about 20 miles west of Duluth and partly lies within the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation.
