OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Crookston PD arrived at a homeless shelter, found an agitated man in mental health crisis who was a resident in the homeless shelter. He was allegedly throwing items and was attacked with tasers simultaneously by 3 officers until Officer Fladland shot and killed him. His shelter roommate whose interview is linked in the source links below stated that Christopher Ryan Junkin was a “good man” who was only experiencing a mental health episode and that he begged police to understand this and support him. Likewise, his family spoke to media, stated that he had been a very generous and thoughtful man and why six officers reportedly participated in the fatal event and nobody reached out to help him instead of attacking him. Police did not answer the question whether he had been armed or not. Police only stated that he was "being combative toward officers and was not following officers' verbal commands." On July 9, 2024, the BCA confirmed that multiple bullet wounds had killed Junkin and simultaneously recommended not to charge officer Fladland for this killing. It was known at the time of this recommendation that he had already killed a second person days prior to being cleared. He had been cleared back to work at an unknown time before being cleared by BCA as he was back on duty on June 30, 2024 to kill Christopher Junkin.

PREVIOUS SHOOTING BY OFFICER FLADLAND:

Officer Nick Fladland who shot and killed him had also killed Andrew Scott Dale on May 16, 2024 and was under investigation for this killing when he killed Junkin.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Kenny Carr was a marine veteran who had been out with his friends drinking. He arrived at home and according to his wife, he had been drinking and was noisy. He was in a good mood but according to her, she could not get him to lower his voice as it was late at night. At some point, an argument began. According to Carr’s wife, a shot suddenly ripped through the house and her husband dropped, shot in the head by someone outside who had fired into the home. Police had gotten a 911 call from an unknown party about a domestic disturbance. Police further allege that they saw Carr holding a gun and felt forced to shoot. Carr’s widow stated that she was advised by her attorney not to discuss the gun and domestic disturbance events in more detail than is stated but that her concern is that her husband was killed in her home in front of her by an unknown assailant who had been outside of the house unbeknownst to them. Carr had a history of PTSD from military involvement, was known in recent months to consume alcohol and cope in a noisy manner according to his wife who disputes any need to shoot him, particularly in the manner as it happened.
