Sandberg was shot and killed Sunday at St. Cloud Hospital by a patient he was monitoring. The suspected shooter, Danny Leroy Hammond, 50, had been charged with multiple felonies for allegedly terrorizing his wife, accused of holding a gun to her head and threatening to feed her rat poison. Sandberg was to arrest him when he was released from the hospital. Read More. |
