A 44-year-old Minnesota man, identified as Taylor Justin Schulz, was arrested after allegedly fatally stabbing a 66-year-old store clerk with a golf club at Oak Grove Grocery near Minneapolis.
Following the attack, a nearly six-hour standoff with police ensued, during which Schulz engaged in a phone conversation with 911.
The victim, identified by locals as Robert Skafte, was impaled through the torso.
Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The suspect barricaded himself in a nearby apartment unit, leading to the involvement of negotiators, SWAT, the drone unit, and the bomb squad.
An ongoing investigation is underway, and the medical examiner has yet to disclose details about the cause of death.
Schulz, described as acting erratically, had reportedly called 911 prior to the incident, demanding to speak with the FBI.
