Fatal Minneapolis shooting death of Nathan Matz – Obituary
Nathan Matz, 40, of Minneapolis, was critically injured in a shooting incident on Saturday evening after causing an active shooter alert.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has identified Matz as the man involved in the altercation.
He remains in stable but critical condition at Hennepin County Medical Center after being shot by Minneapolis Police Department Sergeant Ben Bauer.
Police responded to a call at 4052 Minnehaha Avenue just before 10 p.m. Friday, following reports of a man with a shotgun. No one fitting that description was located at the time.
Officers returned around 4:30 a.m. Saturday due to additional 911 calls about an active shooter discharging weapons inside and outside the apartment building.
Matz was found in a stairwell holding an AK-47, which led Sergeant Bauer to shoot him in the jaw. Bauer, a 12-year veteran of the force, is currently on standard critical incident leave.
Matz was transported to the hospital after being removed from the scene and given initial medical care.
No other injuries were reported, though there was damage to the building and surrounding property. A handgun was also discovered in the stairwell where Matz was found.
