​ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has identified four deputies who discharged their weapons during an officer involved shooting in Otsego on Aug. 7.

• Wright County Sheriff’s Deputy Patrick Mabusth discharged his Taser. He has been with the department for five years. 

• Wright County Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Voss discharged his Taser. He has been with the department for three years. 

• Wright County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jeffrey McMackins fired his department handgun. He has been with the department for 13 years. 
 

• Wright County Sheriff’s Deputy Leland Wilkinson fired his department handgun. He has been with the department for two months​.

The Hennepin County medical examiner identified the subject who deputies shot and killed. Jordyn John Hansen, 21, died of gunshot wounds to the chest. According to the BCA investigation, the four deputies involved in the incident were not part of the initial response to the home in Otsego. The deputies involved responded after Hansen ran from the home with a knife in his hand. According to their statements, the deputies saw Hansen weaving between vehicles at the end of the driveway of the home. Hansen then ran around to the backyard. Video captured by a squad car camera shows Hansen running toward Deputy Wilkinson. Wilkinson falls backwards as he fires his department handgun. The video then shows Sgt. McMackins and Deputy Voss providing medical aid. 
 

In their statements, all four deputies said Hansen ignored repeated commands to drop the knife. BCA crime scene personnel recovered a knife at the scene. Wright County deputies do not wear body cameras but do have cameras on their squad cars. Along with recording audio, those cameras captured portions of the incident as described above. It did not capture the entire shooting. The BCA will release the video along with the complete case file once this case has been closed and fully adjudicated.
 

The Wright County Sheriff’s Office asked the BCA to investigate the incident. Once the investigation is complete, the BCA will present its findings without recommendation to the Wright County Attorney’s Office for review.
