A 51-year-old man is facing six felonies after he allegedly fired several gunshots, stormed the Sherburne County Government Center armed with a machete and assaulted a mother and child in the parking lot Saturday.

According to the criminal complaint, dispatchers began receiving 911 calls around 9 a.m. on July 19 reporting that an armed man had broken through Door A of the Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River. A jail employee saw the man inside the building with a firearm and a woman in the parking lot told dispatch that the man, later identified as Vang, struck her vehicle multiple times while her daughter sat inside. Surveillance footage confirmed the man used the barrel and butt of a gun to hit the passenger window. She told law enforcement she believed she and her daughter were about to die.
