A Grand Forks man is under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder after shooting another man outside of a Valley Dairy gas station in south Grand Forks.

Grand Forks Police believe Jody Christopher Bergland Jr., 24, shot a man at the gas station at 2401 S. Columbia Road at about 2:40 p.m. Monday.

The victim, who police say invoked his Marsy’s Law rights to remain anonymous, suffered a gunshot wound and was transported to Altru Hospital by ambulance.

The wound is believed to be non-life threatening.

It is unclear what prompted the shooting, but Lt. Derik Zimmel said the wounded man was not an employee at the Valley Dairy and that Bergland and the victim did not appear to know each other.

A bullet hole can be seen in a pane of glass above the door at the Valley Dairy. A man was replacing the shattered glass door below the bullet hole at about 6 p.m.

Police were not immediately sure how many shots were fired in the incident.

Witnesses saw the suspect leave the scene in a black Ford pickup, which officers located less than a mile away at the Forest Park Estates apartment complex shortly before 3 p.m.

Grand Forks Police officers and Grand Forks County Sheriff’s deputies began to stake out building nine of the complex near the corner of 24th Avenue South and South 34th Street.

Law enforcement made several entries into building nine, some with guns drawn, and pulled out several witnesses for questioning. Fellow residents of the building were displaced for about two hours as police investigated.

At about 5 p.m., officers brought out Bergland in handcuffs. He wore red gym shorts and was shirtless. His head was shaved.

Neighbor Beth Cose, a nurse who knows Bergland, said he’d had a head of hair when she saw him Sunday.

“I’m actually stunned,” Cose said. “He’s always kind, always helpful.”

Neighbor Ray Aune said Bergland was known in the apartment complex for flying a Confederate flag on the back of his pickup.

Police say they are recommending charges of attempted murder and reckless endangerment to the Grand Forks County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Bergland pleaded guilty to a driving under the influence charge stemming from a July 4 arrest earlier this month, court records show.

Zimmel said the case remains under investigation, but that officers are not actively pursuing any other suspects as of Monday evening.
