A major police presence was seen in the area of 15th Street and Walnut Street, according to a KSTP crew on scene.

A number of streets in the surrounding area were blocked off.

Hastings resident Brad Baxter described the scene.

"I turned the corner and there was a guy laying in the street," he said. "Nobody was saying anything. There was some lady standing outside and cops were everywhere."

The City of Hastings posted an update on the incident to its website and Facebook page late Monday night, though the post referred only to a police incident and said the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had responded and is heading the investigation.

The post said the BCA is expected to release a statement Tuesday morning.

That post read as follows:

"At approximately 6:15 p.m. on Monday, October 1, there was a police incident near the intersection of 15th and Walnut Streets. The MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) responded and is heading the investigation. They are expected to release a statement tomorrow morning, Tuesday, October 2. The area will remained closed to motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic for the next several hours. We ask that residents avoid the area. Thank you for your patience."
