He later wounded himself during a struggle with his mother as she tried to take the weapon away.
The incident happened Feb. 19 at the courthouse in Anoka, where deputies moved to take the man into custody after a jury had just convicted him in a separate felony case.
The attack left another woman with an eye injury that medical staff say will likely result in vision loss.
The suspect is believed to be connected to a deadly double homicide earlier in Minneapolis that left a 14-year-old and a 23-year-old man dead.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said a 23-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy were killed after a suspect entered the residence shortly after being released from the Hennepin County Jail.
Authorities said the victim had been shot in the hip and was transported to Regions Hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
The collision happened around 2:37 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, at the intersection of Highway 218 and 285th Street in Udolpho Township, south of Austin.
Authorities say an officer located the man one block north of where the original call was reported. As the officer attempted to detain him, the man actively resisted and stabbed the officer.
In a press release, the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office said an adult male victim was transported to a hospital. The victim’s condition has not been released.
The fires forced evacuations, endangered worshippers and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, though no injuries were reported in either fire.
The incident unfolded Feb. 18 in the area of Lowry Avenue North and Girard Avenue North after a ShotSpotter system detected three separate gunshot activations within about 15 minutes.
Law enforcement executed a search warrant last Friday at the residence in connection with the case following repeated surveillance tied to suspected narcotics trafficking.
The collision happened around 12:56 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, near 33rd Avenue North and 5th Street North, where police found two heavily damaged vehicles buried in a snowbank following a head-on crash.
Investigators say the boy tested positive for the drug after staying with his mother at a hotel in Coon Rapids in the days leading up to the hospital visit.
Prosecutors charged Khalid Hassan Mowlid, 18, of Maple Grove, with one count each of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and intentional discharge of a firearm.
Officials say the pursuit suspect was linked to a homicide investigation in Wisconsin, where charges have now been filed.
The man’s death was discovered shortly after 1:09 p.m. on Oct. 1, 2025, when St. Cloud police were called to an apartment building after a reported overdose.
