Aitkin County Minnesota Sheriff's Deputy Steven Sandberg
[From article]
A sheriff's deputy was shot and killed inside a Minnesota hospital by a man who was a suspect in a "domestic-related incident" Sunday morning, authorities said.
Danny Hammond, was being monitored by Aitkin County Sheriff's Deputy Steven Sandberg at the request of St. Cloud Hospital, where he was being treated, when a "struggle" broke out at about 5:15 a.m. (6:15 a.m. ET), said Drew Evans, superintendent of the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Hammond grabbed Sandberg's gun during the struggle and shot him, Evans said.
Hospital security responded to the suspect's hospital room and electrically stunned him — he then became unresponsive and died after being taken into custody, Evans said.
The cause of Hammond's death is being investigated by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner.
