Officer shoots man in Willmar; BCA investigating
WILLMAR, Minn. — A law enforcement officer shot a man in Willmar Sunday during an “altercation,” the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said.
The BCA did not say how serious the man’s injuries were, but said the officer suffered minor injuries. Officials also did not share to what agency the officer belongs.
“More information to come once our preliminary investigation is complete,” the BCA said.
Willmar is about 90 miles west of the Twin Cities.

Another BCA investigation in Willmar
On Monday, Kandiyohi County deputy Riley Kampsen used a Taser on 75-year-old Michael Yanacheak during an attempted eviction in Willmar. Yanacheak later died, and the BCA is investigating Kampsen’s use of force.
Kampsen and three other law enforcement officers were attempting to carry out a court-ordered eviction when Yanacheak approached them with a kitchen knife, according to the BCA. Kampsen then tased the man. He was hospitalized and later died.
There’s no indication the two investigations are connected.

BEMIDJI — The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development recently announced over $1.4 million in child care economic development grants, including a $200,000 award to the
Northwest Minnesota Foundation
in Bemidji.
Split between 11 programs and organizations around the state, more than 80% of the awarded funds support programs in Greater Minnesota, with the aim of creating more than 1,100 new child care slots.
“Affordable, reliable child care is essential for a thriving economy,” DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek said in a release. “These grants are supporting working families by ensuring Minnesota parents are able to work knowing their child is well cared for by some of the best caregivers in the nation. We’re also helping employers retain talent and working together to establish the foundation for long-term economic vitality.”
DEED’s Child Care Economic Development Grant program provides funding to organizations and communities to invest in new or expanding child care businesses, including facility improvements, worker training, attraction, retention and licensing, and other strategies to address the child care shortage.
Since the office’s inception in July 2023, DEED has awarded over $13 million in grants to 56 organizations to fund child care startups or business expansions, resulting in over 4,000 new child care slots.
