BLOOMINGTON: SHOOTING - 2 females reported shot - 83xx 15th Ave. S. - Perimeter being started. Unknown suspect on foot.
Dispatching the BearCat armored vehicle to the house "in case things start going south."
Calling the neighbors to shelter in place.
One victim reported DOA in the garage. 2 females gunshot victims were taken to the hospital.
The gunshot victims, two females aged 12 and 29 years old, say a tall male suspect, wearing all black, approached on foot and started shooting. The incident reportedly occurred outside, and may have happened at a different location than the home on 15th.
Officers are smelling gas near the home and are requesting firefighters disconnect the line. They say a possible suspect is in the basement and "pretty jacked up," yelling and screaming as officers attempt to negotiate with him.
The gunshot victims have told police that they do not know the suspect that is currently inside the home.
Gas has been shut off at the home the suspect is currently in.
The suspect is believed to have access to several long guns.
