"Public Memorial Honors Fallen Burnsville First Responders"

A public memorial is being held for the three first responders killed in Burnsville earlier this month, with thousands expected to attend the joint funeral for Burnsville police officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, and paramedic Adam Finseth at Grace Church in Eden Prairie. The service is being livestreamed, and a procession will follow, passing by significant locations in Burnsville. The fallen heroes were fatally shot during a standoff, and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the confrontation. The memorial includes speeches from coworkers, a wounded sergeant, and local officials, with former Gov. Mark Dayton and current Gov. Tim Walz in attendance.
