There, deputies and an officer with the Isle Police Department made contact with the suspect. The release states deputies were fired upon from inside the residence, and a deputy returned fire before retreating to a cover position.

Other law enforcement agencies then responded to the scene, and a Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office negotiator again made contact with the suspect inside the residence. Deputies spoke with the suspect for around 4 1/2 hours, the release said. During those negotiations, law enforcement officers on scene heard a shot fired inside the residence.

They then made entry and found the suspect dead, according to the release.

The identity of the suspect is being withheld pending positive notification by the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office. The BCA investigation remains ongoing.
