Details of the Incident
The harrowing events unfolded when a woman called the authorities around 1:30 on Saturday afternoon, reporting that she had witnessed a murder inside a trailer near Larimore Elementary School. She also mentioned that she had been shot at as well, escalating the urgency of the situation. Sheriff Andy Schneider described it as a highly emotional and challenging situation, as the witness was understandably distraught.
Law Enforcement Response
Upon receiving the distressing call, deputies swiftly arrived at the scene and established a perimeter around the trailer where Larson was believed to be hiding. The tension escalated when a car driven by a relative of the victim crashed into the suspect’s trailer, causing further chaos. A SWAT team was eventually called in to apprehend Larson, who was barricaded inside the home.
Confrontation and Resolution
In a dramatic turn of events, Larson emerged from the house in a bathrobe, prompting officers to take action to restrain him.

Consequently, he was shot in the back by a Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Deputy. It was later revealed that Larson was unarmed, raising questions about the necessity of the use of force.
