Mahtomedi High School officials canceled Friday night’s football game against Bloomington Kennedy, saying the Washington County Sheriff’s Office had advised them to do so due to ongoing law enforcement activity in the area.
The sheriff’s office posted on its Facebook page that its deputies were looking for two “possible armed” suspects on Friday night. Authorities asked residents in the immediate area of 75th Street North and Inwood Way North to shelter in place during the search.
The high school is at 8000 75th Street North, which is about a mile away from that intersection.
School officials said the decision was made “out of an abundance of caution,” in a Facebook post.
No further information was immediately available.
