Edina Police Chief Todd Milburn hosts a press conference on Tuesday.Screenshot via YouTubeGo Deeper.CloseCreate an account or log in to save stories We have added it to a list of your favorite stories Edina Police Chief Todd Milburn said a man pulled out a gun inside a hospital room but did not fire. The suspect then assaulted a patient and fled. “I can only say that it’s a domestic assault or a domestic dispute involving parties that knew each other and there was some type of physical altercation that took place,” he said. Police responded after hospital staff called 911 just before 3 p.m. to report that there was a man with a gun inside the building. The hospital went into lockdown immediately. “During the initial investigation, officers spent most of their time focusing on safety and security of the hospital, locking it down,” Milburn said. “Also during that time they learned relatively quickly that the suspect involved in this case had left the area or left the hospital.” Milburn said officers arrested the man, who's jailed on suspicion of second-degree assault. Police recovered a gun inside the hospital. MPR News helps you turn down the noise and build shared understanding.

Police on Wednesday said the man who pulled a gun during a domestic dispute in a hospital room at M Health Fairview Southdale in Edina on Tuesday was tracked down and arrested barely an hour later at his home 28 miles away. At a media briefing near the scene late Tuesday afternoon, Police Chief Todd Milburn said officers were called at 2:55 p.m. to a report of someone with a gun at the hospital at 6401 France Av. S. Law enforcement from multiple agencies swarmed the hospital, which was placed on lockdown, where they learned the suspect had left after a domestic assault or dispute inside an eighth-floor room. “During that domestic situation somebody produced a handgun, and that’s what led to the 911 call,” Milburn said, adding that no shots were fired. The suspect was found and arrested about 4 p.m. without incident, and a gun was recovered, the chief said. On Wednesday, police released a report that disclosed that the 65-year-old man was apprehended in the west metro suburb of Independence at his home on the southern shore of Lake Sarah. The report listed the victim as a Minneapolis woman with the same last name. Charges against the man are pending. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged. Milburn lauded not only the responding agencies, but also hospital security and staff for the speed with which they initiated the lockdown, which lasted about an hour. Although no one was hurt, Milburn called the situation “very serious.” “When you think about public safety in a hospital setting or a school setting, that’s first and foremost that we get to the scene and secure it to make sure that is everyone is safe,” he said. “It’s unfortunate in this day and age that we see this from time to time, but our officers and public safety staff train for this type of thing, which is why and how you see the response that you do. It’s a lot of resources that come to a scene like this, but it’s very intentional.” Multiple agencies rushed to the scene, and hospital officials worked with law enforcement to pursue the suspect, said Fairview Health Services spokesperson Jill Fischer. A Star Tribune reporter who was at the hospital when the incident unfolded witnessed at least 30 officers in full gear and weapons race into the hospital through an east entrance, while armored trucks were parked outside. No gunshots were heard and the hospital was not evacuated. At about 4 p.m. the scene appeared to be stabilized, although police remained there. In a post on X before the all-clear was issued, Edina police advised residents to stay away from the 6400 block of France Avenue.

One of the most exciting events in hockey is upon us as the Girl’s Hockey State Championships kick off today Eight fantastic hockey clubs will compete for the title of the best Class AA Minnesota girl’s hockey team The tournament features some of the biggest stars in the state Hockey Award finalists and a Jori Jones Award finalist Defending champion Edina returns looking to defend their title and win their first back-to-back championships since 2018-19 The state tournament is a chance for Minnesota to celebrate its hockey culture and for some of the state’s most talented hockey players to show the results of their hard work every team in the tournament worked incredibly hard to get to the Xcel Energy Center in St they’ll make memories that last a lifetime Check out our preview of the Class AA bracket and learn about every team competing for the state’s top prize The Edina Hornets will enter the tournament looking to defend their title from last year as the #1 seed in this year’s tournament The Hornets have been consistently excellent all season They have wins this season over fellow tournament competitors Andover With a battle-tested roster and the #1 seed The Hornets feature one of the most talented teams in the state with several players already committed to play at the collegiate level They use that pedigree to execute a ruthlessly efficient power play attack that is the best in the tournament They also play excellent team defense and get scored on less than any team in the field One of the more interesting storylines surrounding Edina is who will be in net for the Hornets throughout the tournament Two goaltenders have carried the load throughout the season went 12-2-2 with a .932 save percentage this campaign while 17-year-old Reese McConnell posted a .939 save percentage on the way to an 11-1-1 record McConnell started the Hornets championship game against Benilde-St but Hannon started their first game of the sectional tournament Edina has two standout goaltenders that will be fascinating to track throughout the tournament The Hornets begin their title defense against Farmington in the opening round The Centennial/Spring Lake Park Cougars are coming into this tournament and are looking to be one of the top contenders The Cougars punched their ticket to the Xcel Energy Center after defeating Mounds View/Irondale North Wright County and Maple Grove in the Section 5AA championships The win against Maple Grove was particularly vital for the program after Centennial/Spring Lake fell short against them in last year’s sectional final Centennial/Spring Lake Park may have the most impressive results on paper Their 26 wins are the most of any team in the tournament The Cougars have scored the most goals per game accumulated more points than anyone else in this field Kulenkamp was recently named a finalist for the prestigious Ms making her one of the three finalists for that award competing for the title in St but the team also features plenty of other offensive weapons Eight Centennial/Spring Lake Park players scored over 20 points this season If Centennial/Spring Lake Park succeeds in this tournament their balanced and high-powered offense will likely be the reason The Cougars have been putting together impressive results for the last several seasons and hope that run culminates in a state championship Head Coach Sean Molin has run the program for five years putting together a 103-27-4 record behind the bench The closest they’ve come as a program was a second-place finish in 2018 so they’ll be looking to achieve something the team has never done before in capturing a state title The Cougars will start their quest to win the ultimate prize against #7 seed Rosemount in the first round The Hill-Murray Pioneers have been a staple in the boys’ side of the tournament for decades but the girl’s program has also been incredibly successful over recent years The Pioneers defeated the Woodbury Royals in the 4AA Sectional Championships to send them back to St When they begin play at the state tournament The Pioneers made it all the way to the finals of the tournament last year before losing to Edina in a 2-0 game If Hill-Murray can right that wrong this year it’ll be the program’s third state championship They won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015 and are hoping to add to that trophy case 10 years later Hill-Murray also had one of the most rigid schedules in the state but passed that test with positive results They played nine games this season against teams who also made it to the tournament and went 5-4 in those games Two losses came against #1 seed Edina and the others to #2 seed Centennial/Spring Lake Park and Andover They held victories over Holy Family twice The team is led by a trio of high-powered 10th-grade scorers The trio of scorers get much of their work done on the powerplay contributing to one of the best extra-attacker units in the tournament The Pioneers scored on a third of their powerplay opportunities so their opponents will want to stay out of the box Hill-Murray will also need to exercise much caution Their 76.5% penalty-killing unit is the weakest in the tournament Games involving the Pioneers may be determined by which team can exercise the most discipline Hill-Murray will take on #6 seed Andover in the opening round of their campaign for the state title Moorhead begins tournament play as the #4 seed after a stellar season in which they finished 20-7-1 Moorhead defeated defending 8AA champions Roseau 6-1 to capture their sectional title and punch their ticket to St Moorhead’s offense is spearheaded by Olivia Kortan a senior forward who led the Spuds in all major scoring categories Kortan has been a major player for Moorhead for all four years of her high school career the star forward finished with 61 points in 28 games With this being her last chance at state championship glory expect Kortan to play a significant role for the Spuds as they return to the tournament after missing out last season One of Moorhead’s most significant advantages is that they have one of the best goaltenders in the tournament Taylor Kressin is the lone goalie in the field and a finalist for the prestigious Jori Jones Award The award is given to the best goaltender in the stand She helped lead Moorhead to the state tournament with a 27-save effort against defending Section 8AA champion Roseau Kressin posted a 1.47 goals-against average this year with a .950 save percentage Moorhead will take on #5 seed Holy Family in the first round of the state tournament The two teams have played once before this season with Moorhead already holding a victory over the Fire with the Spuds skating away with a 3-2 win Moorhead will be looking to replicate that result in the opening round Holy Family earned the #5 seed in this tournament in an instant classic against Minnetonka in the 2AA sectional final Holy Family beat the #1-ranked Minnetonka in overtime with a goal from Maielle Schugel It was Schugel’s first goal of the season A lot of the discussion around Holy Family has centered around that upset victory over Minnetonka but the Fire have been great all season and belong in this field for far more than one win The team went 21-7-0 this year and had signature wins over Andover and Orono this season They’re one of the best teams in the tournament at limiting goals with a 1.32 goals-against per game average Junior goaltender Kayla Swartout got most of their starts and registered an excellent .941 save percentage while going 17-7-0 The standout goalie is committed to play at the University of Wisconsin when she begins her collegiate career Another strength of the Holy Family Fire comes from their experience All their players but two are 10th grade or above and they should be one of the older teams in the tournament This experience does not extend to their program as Holy Family is making their first-ever state tournament appearance The Fire will remember their first tournament experience for a lifetime Holy Family will face Moorhead in the first round of the tournament and they look to make noise in their inaugural appearance The Andover Huskies earned their way into the tournament after a 19-8-1 campaign that ended with a Section 7AA title Andover may be coming into the tournament as the #6 seed but they should not be viewed as an underdog The Huskies carry a storied tradition with impressive results in recent years they’ve won two state titles and finished second twice Head Coach Melissa Volk has backed the team for 12 seasons Along with their history of recent success the Huskies will also come into the tournament with one of the best players in the state Hockey finalist committed to playing at the University of Wisconsin Only the most elite talents in the state go on to play with top programs like Wisconsin The senior defender dominates games offensively and defensively with 25 assists and a +22 rating Jones will undoubtedly play a key role in the Huskies’ title aspirations with this being the final year of her high school career The Huskies will face Hill-Murray in the opening round a team they’ve already played twice this season Andover won the first game 5-2 on December 20th while the Hill-Murray Pioneers won the second game 2-1 on January 24th The two storied programs will have to play a rubber match before one of them tries to go on a run Rosemount earned a state title appearance with victories over Hastings Hopkins/Park and Eastview in the 3AA section championships The title capped off a 21-7-0 season that they hope to extend even further in St They outscored opponents 39-16 in the first period of games this year That quick start is something they could take advantage of in this tournament if they’re able to win games Rosemount played six games against fellow tournament competitors this season but went 1-for-6 against Centennial/Spring Lake Park Rosemount’s star forward is Sophie Stramel a senior forward committed to playing at Minnesota State University and a finalist for this year’s Ms Hockey award and a solid showing at the state tournament would be the cherry on top for a fantastic season for Stramel She joined the 200 career point club this season and scored the game-winning goal in Rosemount’s section final win over Eastview If Stramel can lead the Irish to a state tournament win it would be the school’s first for either boys or girls Rosemount starts the tournament off against Centennial/Spring Lake Park That matchup is the same one Rosemount began the season with They’ll look to reverse their fortunes this time around The Farmington Tigers won the Section 1AA title after defeating South Central After missing the tournament in recent years Farmington is looking to make a strong showing The eighth-seeded Tigers will have their work cut out against Edina but Head Coach Jon Holmes should be up to preparing the team for the matchup Holmes is one of the most experienced coaches in the tournament and he has 18 years at Farmington under his belt While the Tigers’ coach may be experienced the team is one of the youngest in the field Goaltender Addison Moudry and defender Kennedy Meier are the only seniors on the team The Tigers are led by a trio of scorers: sisters Jenna and Amelia Goblirsch and Taylor Risch so they’ll get fantastic experience in this tournament The team has great potential but will definitely be an underdog story in St The Tigers are backstopped by a duo of goaltenders in the form of Addison Moudry and Makenna Underwood Both goalies played significant time for Farmington this season fans can expect Moudry to get the first crack at minding the Farmington net after she made every start in Farmington’s sectional playoff run Moudry posted a 1.96 goals-against-average and a .918 save percentage this season The Farmington Tigers will take on the #1 seed Edina Hornets in the opening round of the Class AA State Championships.You can find the full brackets and schedules for the Class AA State Tournament here, or purchase tickets to sessions at the Xcel Energy

The owners of Mr. Paul’s Supper Club have transformed the sandwich stand at the back of their restaurant and sometimes pop-up bar into a whole new business Carnival Bar (3917 Market St.) will open April 17 in the former Po’ Boys and Jams location with a neighborhood-friendly menu and good-time-inspiring cocktails “We’re super excited,” said Carrie Erickson Paul’s along with her spouse/executive chef Tommy Begnaud and their business partner Courtney Briden “We love our neighbors and wanted to open a neighborhood bar with kind of a casual leaning into the old-school circus paraphernalia that Begnaud already has thanks to his inspiration and art-collecting grandfather On the menu are snacks like pimento cheese poppers and deviled eggs as well as the burgers that have garnered an enthusiastic following Behind the bar is beverage director Nick Kosevich who will keep the frozen Irish coffee around but the rest of the drinks lean into whimsy like the Giggle Water: vodka flavored with cherry blossoms There’s also a “miraculous color-changing cordial” with gin and ginger or popcorn margaritas — two words we haven’t heard together before A trio of NA cocktails are also on the menu The slim space allows for seating at the 14 bar stools with three high-top tables and a 12-seat patio that will come back soon For now, the bar will only be open Thursdays through Saturdays from 4 p.m. until close, when it isn’t booked out for private events. People will want to follow @CarnivalBar on Instagram for up-to-the moment information on hours. “There’s such an opportunity to host small events back there,” said Erickson. “We have so much fun and wanted to extend that into more of a sexy, nighttime vibe than the more casual daytime sandwich shop.” Erickson, Begnaud and crew have come to love the 50th and France neighborhood since they first opened Mr. Paul’s Supper Club in 2021. The same crew also opened Mothership Pizza nearby last year. “It’s been so much fun to bring new things into this area,” she said. “We think this is going to be a great addition.” Joy Summers is a St. Paul-based food reporter who has been covering Twin Cities restaurants since 2010.
