The shooter who k**led two police officers and a firefighter paramedic in a Minneapolis suburb during a domestic disturbance call early Sunday has been identified as a man who was already barred from owning firearms.

Shannon Gooden, 38, opened fire on first responders in the affluent suburb of Burnsville, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said on Monday. Gooden was in a contentious dispute with the mother of his three oldest children, authorities said, when first responders arrived at the scene.

Gooden k**led Burnsville Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, both 27, and Adam Finseth, 40, a firefighter and paramedic who was assigned to the city’s SWAT team, police said. Another officer, Sgt. Adam Medlicott, was shot and wounded. Gooden himself was found dead in a room of the home with a gunshot wound to his head in what the Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed as a suicide.

While it was unclear who had called 911, Gooden had barricaded himself in the home with seven children aged 2 to 15. Multiple guns were recovered from the scene.

Court records show Gooden had his right to possess guns revoked in Minnesota after pleading guilty in 2008 to second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, local FOX 9 reported.

He petitioned a court unsuccessfully in 2020 to have his gun rights restored.

Court records also show his disputes over the custody and financial support of his three oldest children had escalated, accusing their mother, Noemi Torres, of neglect while she called him "controlling" and accused him of abusing her and the children.

The deadly standoff came just two days before Gooden and Torres had a scheduled district court hearing on the matter.

Torres told KARE-TV that their three children, two boys ages 12 and 15 and a daughter, 14, were in the house during the standoff. She said that Gooden threatened to shoot police if anyone called 911.

"I’m going to have a standoff," Torres quoted Gooden as saying, according to brief interview excerpts the station posted on social media. "I’m going to k**l everybody."

And the looney lefts solution? Have more gun control laws that criminals will ignore.

So now the trouble escalates as 2 rival African gangs full of i*****l i*******ts that slo joe welcomed into our country have fought each other at an Eritrian festival in Charlotte, North Carolina. Police in r**t gear were brought in to try and stop the r**ts as officers were hurt, objects thrown at them, an 18 wheeler torched, guns confiscated and businesses destroyed. This gang warfare started at 11 a.m. and continued until 6 p.m. as the police tried to quell the r**t and break the gangs up. This is just a sampling of what our once great country can expect as terroristic foreigners and bad actors, as Trump so rightfully pointed out, invade our country and are welcomed in by our demorat marxist party of i**********nists. Expect more of these r**ts as these i******s don't get what they want and then start to steal from hard working, tax paying Americans.

LOL, I liked Sly, but I do not remember this song at all. now I do... like the video also.. not always the case with me..

A fine theme song for sure..

just to add a bit.. when I got out of the Marines it took me a while to get all the way back.. a bit troubled.. 20 years was the while..

Any way a very wonderful young lady had me listen to the words of the song many many times. and in due course it helped a bit getting it all together.. and she did far more..

And for some reason she is still the one in my life.. now you know all there is to know, I guess. got a bit carried away... have a nice evening..

I am a liberal. And a progressive too.
That of course means. I’m better than you.

Facts don’t matter. Because I have a point of view.
If you don't like it. Here's what I'll do.

First I’ll yell and scream. Cuz saying it louder, makes it true.
If that doesn't work. I'll just ignore you.

I don't believe in God. I just believe in me.
That's why it's okay. To k**l an unborn baby.

I know in my heart. That's not really true.
But I have no real convictions. So what should I do?

I know I'm really smart. But there's some things I can't do.
Like seeing reality. Or thinking things through.

But I don't need to do that. All I need to do.
Is listen to CNN. Because they will tell me true.

C*****e c****e is really bad. It's caused by you and me.
Maybe I should k**l myself just like the baby.

The End
