WINSTED, Minn. – The McLeod County Sheriff’s Office has released the names of two deputies hit by gunfire in Winsted Monday.
According to investigators, deputies Darrell Caturia and Angie Malz had a no-knock warrant to arrest a suspect for felony child pornography, but he refused to let them into the residence.
The suspect reportedly told his daughter that “he was not going to go to jail.” Family members told law enforcement the man had weapons and about 100 rounds of ammunition.
The deputies were eventually able to enter the residence, but both were struck by gunfire and taken to the hospital where they were treated and released. Deputies later that evening sent a drone into the house and saw a man’s body inside.
The man’s name has not been released
