On Monday morning, a SWAT team was dispatched to the Target store in Woodbury Village for an “active scene.” The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which investigates when law enforcement uses force, confirmed that they are responding to a use-of-force incident in Woodbury on Monday afternoon.
The store, located near Valley Creek and Interstate 494, was placed on lockdown, according to police. Authorities have requested that the public avoid the Valley Creek Plaza area and shelter in place if they are in the immediate vicinity.
At this time, the police have declined to provide further comment. This is a developing story, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
