KARE 11 Sunrise reporter CeCe Gaines was at the scene and saw a bomb squad, an ambulance and multiple squad cars.
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Bloomington Police engaged in a standoff with a man in crisis early Friday morning.
According to Bloomington Police on X, officers responded to a call of a man saying he was in crisis just after midnight near the 8700 block of 12th Ave. S. Negotiators spoke with the man at the scene, attempting to get him to exit the residence.
KARE 11 Sunrise reporter CeCe Gaines was nearby the scene and saw a bomb squad, an ambulance and multiple squad cars. Multiple streets were blocked off nearby early Friday morning.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension posted on X around 5:45 a.m. that they are responding to a use-of-force incident in Bloomington. More details have yet to be released, so it is unclear if this incident is related to the standoff or not.
Gaines said the scene had cleared by 5:15 a.m., but Bloomington Police has not yet shared how the incident concluded. Earlier, Gaines heard authorities stating, “Exit the house, weapon down, hands up.”
KARE 11 contacted Bloomington Police and will update this article once more information is available.

MPD Chief Brian O’Hara said despite dodging fireworks himself, the scene is overall less chaotic than July 4, 2023.
MINNEAPOLIS — Editor’s Note: This video originally aired the morning of July 4, 2024.
Dinkytown received an unwanted Fourth of July fireworks show late Thursday night as people launched fireworks at passersby, officers and nearby property.
The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) made “numerous” arrests throughout Thursday night into early Friday morning, according to spokesperson Trevor Folke. KARE 11 photographer David Peterlinz spoke with MPD Chief Brian O’Hara after a group threw a mortar in his direction at a Dinkytown intersection.
“I was standing at the intersection one block over, there were a couple of troopers with us … and a group ran up from behind us and threw a large mortar at us landing in the street a couple feet away,” O’Hara said.
O’Hara said officers arrested two juveniles, one from Andover, after that incident.
“The ridiculous behavior that goes on here as far as people throwing mortars, and explosives really at people or at buildings is outrageous,” he said. “And we’re doing everything that we can to identify the specific individuals in these groups that are responsible for that and arresting them, towing their cars whenever possible.”
In a press conference July 3, the chief said he was concerned about teens coming into the city from outside of Minneapolis to create a viral video.
“These are out-of-towners, not people from Minneapolis, coming here and disrupting our residents’ lives,” O’Hara said July 3.
Despite the mayhem, the chief said this year’s July 4 is overall less chaotic than previous years.
“It’s not as bad as last year and the problems we’ve been seeing, are over here [in] Dinkytown on the east side of the river,” he said.
In comparison,16 people were arrested for fireworks incidents in 2023 and 11 of those were juveniles.
