Feb 9 (Reuters) – At least five people were wounded on Tuesday in a shooting at a health clinic about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis, according to local media reports that cited police radio traffic.
The shooting took place at about 11:00 a.m. at the Allina Clinic in Buffalo, Minnesota. About a half hour later, a bomb exploded inside the clinic, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported, citing an emergency dispatch audio.
A male suspect was taken into custody, the paper reported.
Further details on the injured and damage to the clinic were not available. Calls to the Buffalo Police Department and Allina Health were not immediately returned.
