At least one killed in fatal plane crash in Minnesota
US Bank vice chair and chief administration officer Terry Dolan is believed to have been a passenger on the small plane that crashed into a house in a northern suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Saturday, the bank announced on Sunday, according to NBC News.
A bank spokesperson clarified that the small plane was registered to Dolan, NBC continued.
Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway stated at a Saturday news conference that while it is unclear how many people were onboard the plane, there were no survivors.
The plane was a single-engine SOCATA TBM7, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. This plane model is able to carry six people.
The plane crashed into a home, causing a fire, Conway confirmed. The home was completely destroyed, CBS News added, with a neighboring home experiencing “minor damage to the siding and yard,” CBS added, quoting the fire department.
“A SOCATA TBM7 crashed in a residential area in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, around 12:20 p.m. local time on Saturday, March 29. The plane departed from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa and was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis. We do not yet know how many people were on board,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated on Saturday.
“The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate. The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide any updates,” the FAA confirmed.
“The investigation is just getting started. We don’t have a lot of answers right now,” NTSB aviation accident investigator Tim Sorensen commented, according to CNN.
Investigators will examine “all other aspects that may have affected the operation, such as the weather, such as the background experience of the pilot, the status of the aircraft, maintenance of the aircraft,” Sorensen added.
Two people live inside the home, but only one was inside at the time, and they were able to escape to safety, Brooklyn Park authorities announced.
Political and local responses
Minnesota Governor and recent Democratic Party vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz posted on social media that he was closely monitoring the situation and was “grateful to the first responders answering the call.”

Brooklyn Park Mayor Hollies Winston thanked Walz for his support, CNN reported.
A neighbor, quoted by USA Today, told local CBS news affiliate WCCO-TV that her “whole house shook like I’d never seen” before they “ran and looked out the window and saw the billowing smoke.”
Another neighbor told ABC-affiliate KSTP that she “can’t imagine this happening to anybody.”

Minneapolis police are investigating a shooting that seriously injured a man on the city’s north side Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting happened just before 2 p.m. on the 1200 block of 36th Avenue North, according to the Minneapolis Police Department.
Upon arrival, officers found a man inside the living room of a residence suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound. Police provided medical aid to the victim before he was transported by ambulance to an area hospital.
Officers are working to determine what led up the shooting, including if it was accidental, according to officials.
No arrest have been made so far.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed that the tornado that struck the Detroit Lakes area of northwestern Minnesota on July 6 was rated EF2, with estimated peak winds of 185 km/h (115 mph).
The tornado touched down at 19:47 local time (LT), approximately 3 km (2 miles) south-southwest of Westbury, according to the NWS.
It remained on the ground for about 10 minutes. The tornado had a path length of 10.93 km (6.79 miles) and reached a maximum width of more than 730 m (2 400 feet). It dissipated approximately 6 km (4 miles) northeast of Detroit Lakes at 19:57 LT.
The Becker County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) said deputies and other emergency responders began monitoring the severe weather around 19:30 LT after receiving reports of a possible funnel cloud north of Lake Park.
At approximately 20:14 LT, the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a tornado near the Oakland Beach area, where it caused extensive damage to homes, buildings, and trees.
The NWS confirmed two injuries associated with the event, one of which was directly caused by the tornado.
“1 injury can be directly attributed to the tornado, as a homeowner was injured in their home when their roof was removed by the tornado. The second injury was after the tornado during the cleanup stage and could be due to shock or trauma, according to the county emergency manager,” the NWS reported.
“Responders went from home to home looking for residents and checking for the injured. Two individuals were transported to Essentia St. Mary’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One other patient went to the hospital by private vehicle,” the BCSO said.

The tornado began about 2 km (1 mile) northwest of Wheeler Lake before crossing the lake, where it damaged the roofs of several homes and snapped the trunks of large oak and poplar trees.
It reached its maximum width near the western shore of Big Floyd Lake, with the Oakland Beach neighborhood sustaining the most severe damage.
Multiple garages and lighter outbuildings were swept away, while widespread roof and tree damage was reported. A 2 x 4 m (6 x 12-foot) horse trailer was lofted and carried about 200 m (656 feet) before the tornado crossed Big Floyd Lake and continued east. The last visible damage was identified near the intersection of County Highway 25 and Anchor Road.
More than 500 customers lost power as a result of the storms, according to Detroit Lakes Public Utility.
As the storm tracked east-southeast, strong winds, hail, and heavy rain affected areas north of Audubon before a tornado warning was issued for the Callaway and Rochert areas. Reports of downed trees, power lines, and debris soon followed from Detroit Township between U.S. Highway 59 and County Highway 21.
