The 31-year-old allegedly shot down a police drone and fired at sheriff's deputies multiple times Tuesday afternoon as they tried to serve an arrest warrant. The Church of St. Timothy in Blaine is honoring Mark and Melissa Hortman at its 9 a.m. Mass Monday morning. Melissa taught Sunday School at St. Timothy. A Minneapolis man persistently harassed and later shot by his next-door neighbor filed a lawsuit last week against the city and his home's previous owners. Lawyers for 36-year-old Davis Moturi say in the court filing the October 2024 shooting caused "severe and permanent injury."
