Overview
- A vehicle stop in Mankato, which took place on June 18, led officers to follow a fleeing driver to a home in St. Peter where the 21-year-old suspect barricaded himself.
- Officers escorted a woman and a girl out of the residence before two officers entered and were fired upon, with Officer Austin Buss struck in the arm during the stairway exchange.
- Officer Austin Buss and Sgt. Dustin Struckman returned fire and the suspect, identified as 21-year-old Jordan Donahue, was later found dead inside the home.
- The City of St. Peter released body-worn camera footage on July 7 that shows the suspect aiming and firing at officers and confirms the sequence of events captured in earlier reports.
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is leading the use-of-force investigation, both officers remain on critical-incident leave, and the footage could shape public questions about transparency and accountability.
