Four men broke into a home with plans to carry out a robbery. Three of the men wore masks and one carried a sawed-off shotgun. There were more than a dozen people inside of the home. The intruders assaulted several people, and one intruder fired his weapon at least once. As three deputies from the Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office arrived, two of the four intruders were leaving the home. Both were arrested. One of the deputies entered the home and located a third intruder in a bedroom with a shotgun pointed at several people. When the intruder refused to drop the shotgun, the deputy shot and killed him. The fourth intruder was arrested without incident.
