A Minnesota man is facing multiple charges for reacting violently to his girlfriend ending their relationship by allegedly crashing her car and shooting at the police.
On the evening of September 21, a 23-year-old man was riding as a passenger while his girlfriend was driving. During the ride, the woman told the man she did not want to date him anymore. He reportedly did not take the news well and allegedly yanked on the steering wheel which caused the vehicle to crash.
Minnesota State Police troopers went to the scene, and when they arrived, the man allegedly had a gun and started shooting at the law enforcement officers. One of the police vehicles was hit with a bullet, but the trooper was not physically injured. When backup police arrived, the suspect allegedly fired more shots in their direction.
