WINSTED, Minn. – A man who shot two deputies apparently killed himself during a stand-off. Sheriff Tim Langenfeld said deputies had knocked on the man’s door to serve a warrant for child pornography about mid-day and were shot. The deputies were not seriously hurt. They were treated and released from a nearby hospital. After the deputies were wounded, the house was cordoned off. Getting no repose after several hours, officers sent a robot inside and found the man dead, Langenfeld said. The sheriff said he didn’t know how the suspect died. He deferred questions on whether any officers fired their weapons. He said the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension would investigate. The sheriff declined to release the name of the man who died. Winsted, population 2,200, is 20 miles east of Hutchinson.
