State v. Dahlstrom

Sheran, Justice.

Appeal from a judgment of the district court.

At about 1 a. m. on November 30, 1963, at the intersection of Western and Thomas Avenues in St. Paul, defendant, armed with a .22 rifle, confronted Sergeant Robert M. Lee of the St. Paul Police Department. Ordered to drop his gun, defendant raised the weapon to a shooting position. Lee and other officers fired their .38 service revolvers at defendant. He was wounded, apprehended, and in due course charged by information with the crime of attempted murder in the second degree. Convicted of this crime, he now appeals.

Error is claimed…
