Minnesota police officer’s shooting death on Indian reservation prompts FBI probe: report

A tribal police officer was fatally shot in the line of duty on an Indian reservation in Minnesota on Tuesday morning – prompting an FBI investigation, according to a report.

The victim was identified as Officer Ryan Bialke, 37, of the Red Lake Police Department, FOX 9 of Minneapolis reported.

According to the station, Red Lake police had responded to the Red Lake Indian Reservation on a report of a potentially suicidal male at a residence. 

When officers arrived, a suspect fired at them, striking Bialke, the report said. The officer later died at a hospital, the Bemidji Pioneer newspaper reported.

The suspect, who was not immediately identified, was ultimately taken into custody, according to FOX 9.

Bialke was a six-year veteran of the department and leaves behind a wife and four children, the newspaper reported.

All non-essential tribal activity at the reservation was halted Tuesday in response to the officer’s death, the station reported, and tribal offices and businesses were directed to lower flags to half-staff.
