The three Burnsville first responders who were fatally shot while responding to a call last month were honored Thursday on the floor of the U.S. House. The entire Minnesota House delegation gathered together as Rep. Angie Craig read a resolution honoring officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge and firefighter-paramedic Adam Finseth.
And a two-alarm fire Thursday injured two people and destroyed a south Minneapolis encampment. The fire was reported just after noon at the Camp Nenookaasi encampment.
