After an 8-hour standoff, the subject was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officer Schneider was transported to the St. Marys Hospital at Mayo Clinic, where he remained until succumbing to his wounds.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 281 ReflectionsShawn was a kind hearted friendly very approachable Officer, who always had a smile on his face.
He loved his wife and kids so much.
Every time he would come pick up his kids at the daycare I worked at he was so pleasant and always so happy. I truly respect him and I’m so grateful for his service.
I have not seen his wife or kids in quite some time, but I wish them nothing but the best.
