No Name Released for Suicidal Individual at WinnMed
The Winneshiek County Communications Center received a call from the
Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office advising of a suicidal male subject with a firearm in the
WinnMed parking lot. WinnMed was immediately placed on lockdown during the duration of
the event.
Law Enforcement was able to make contact with the subject by phone and negotiation
attempts were made. The subject fled in his truck and eluded from Winneshiek County Law
Enforcement. During the pursuit, several attempts were made by the Winneshiek County
Sheriff’s Office and Decorah Police Department to stop the vehicle. Ultimately, the deputies and
officers were able to box the vehicle in on the overpass on Highway 52 near Madison Road and
safely bring the vehicle to a stop. The subject was taken into custody without incident and the
firearms in the vehicle were recovered. The subject was then taken by law enforcement to
WinnMed for further evaluation.
The Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office and Decorah Police Department have several charges
pending from this incident. More details on the charges will be released later. No additional
information will be released at this time.
