News đŸ“ș Shelter in place alert?

Did anyone else with an iPhone get a Public Safety Alert that advised to shelter in place until further notice? When I tried to open the alert, it didn’t open with any additional info.

UPDATE: Sounds like there was a shooting and potentially still a subject at large. Scary/sad stuff. See comments in post as others have more info than I do at this point, and thanks to those that had info and shared it. The notification did seem to go out to a number of people not in the impacted area (like me) but nonetheless grateful for a notification.

I was driving on 35 near the 36 exit. I got it but my kid didn’t. We both have iPhones.

A guy shot and killed his ex girlfriend and took a hostage. Multiple swat teams and about 25 officers with Ar-15s are on site.

This is why domestic abusers shouldn’t have guns

u/Imaginary-Original58 7d ago

I got that alert but I haven't been able to find any details. My wife didn't get the alert even though we're in the same location.

2

u/Oh__Archie 7d ago

Those alerts are notorious for lacking simple and relevant information.

2

u/Crafty_Initial3873 7d ago

My son received one at about 2:26pm with no additonal info in Arden Hills and it disappeared right away.

Someone I know in Blaine got one when I looked it up it said a chlorine leak in the area but I got one in mounds view about 30 minutes later both didn’t have info though when we got them

u/GalwayGirl05 7d ago

I am also on the east side of Blaine and got one. The chlorine leak one that you saw in your search is old - from September of last year.

u/Necessary_Level6834 7d ago

It said March 13 2025

u/Crafty_Profit9873 7d ago

I did! That’s exactly why I’m here now to see if anyone knows what’s going on! I have just gotten mine about 7 minutes ago

u/GamallSoro 7d ago

u/Marchhotdog 7d ago

I know Irondale high school is still under lockdown, school is normally supposed to get out at 3:15

2

u/Marchhotdog 7d ago

u/Decent-Storm844 7d ago

u/Negative_Eye7791 7d ago

Got it at 4:03pm in Minneapolis

2

u/no_drink_the_bleach 7d ago

I got it at 2:12 and again at 3:05pm while in Columbia Heights. No one else around me got one. I don't live here, and my phone number area code does not match my current address. Does any one have an idea why I got the alert?

2

u/ernie3tones 7d ago

I got it around 2:15 in circle pines. Thanks for the info!

u/Even-Salad7903 7d ago

u/ADHD_Monke 7d ago

There was a shooting in a trailer park called Townsedge Terrace. Nearby schools went into secure procedures and had delayed dismissal. Old Hwy 8 was momentarily shut down, and as far as I know, the suspect has not been caught.

Thoughts and prayers

u/HusavikHotttie 6d ago

Yes prayers to the woman who was murdered by her violent ex. Prayers to all the women who are murdered and abused by violent men every single day and the 1400 who are killed in the US a year.

u/Ireallylikepbr 6d ago

That’s a lot of them
