AMBOY, Minn. (AP) - A man killed himself during a standoff after shooting and wounding two police officers near this south-central Minnesota town, authorities said. One of the officers was hospitalized Sunday with a severe head wound.

The suspect, Jeff Skjervold, 41, apparently shot himself to death after barricading himself in his home, authorities said.

Skjervold reportedly got into a fight Saturday with a woman, who left the home before officers entered the house.

Two officers responding to the domestic disturbance call were shot. One of the officers, 37-year-old Robert Sadusky, a 7½-year veteran of the Mankato Police Department, suffered a severe head wound, authorities said. Sadusky was upgraded to serious from critical condition at St. Marys Hospital in Rochester, Mayo Clinic spokeswoman Amy Reyes said.

Sadusky was awake and able to speak with his family, police said at a news conference.

The other wounded officer, Chris Nelson, 44, of the St. Peter Police Department, also was shot in the head and recovering at home with his family Sunday, authorities said. Nelson was saved by his ballistics helmet, St. Peter Police Chief Matthew Peters said.

Very close to home for me. I know of them, not personally but know they are both very respected in their departments. Both have families and is a really shitty thing for a Christmas gift. My thoughts and prayers are with them both.

Wondered if you knew them. Both head shots according to the newspaper. Did both have helmets on or only the one that is at home? I'm glad they are alive and my thoughts go out to them and their families.

I went to Amboy for the Christmas Eve church service(step-mom is the minister there) and there were news vans and helicopters all around town. This was very very unfortunate but atleast everyone who mattered lived through it.


In my opinion, if a cop is ever in danger like that I think they need to just snipe the bastard through the window instead of ending things 'peacefully'. That fucker deserved to get killed, not take his own life.

Glad the cops made it (so far). Thoughts go out to their families.

At least the gene pool got a little cleansing, eh?
