Good morning, Moorhead.

Moorhead police responded to a domestic assault call on August 11 at an apartment on the 2400 block of Third Avenue North where officers were shot at while trying to enter; one hour later, SWAT rescued two children and fatally shot two men—Nathan and Lucas Heiberg.

Three officers are on leave as the investigation continues.

Today, as school starts, Sanford’s Safe Kids coordinator Katie Heck urged families to review safe routes for crossing streets while Fargo Police warned drivers to give extra space and enforce a $250 fine for passing school buses with stop signs out—more officers will be near schools to keep students safe.

Moorhead Area Public School District has launched Vote152.org to inform voters about the upcoming November 4 referendum after a capital projects levy was rejected last November.

The ballot will ask for an operating levy of $575 per pupil and a capital projects levy that combined will raise $5.87 million per year for ten years—causing a nearly $24 monthly tax increase for a $250,000 homeowner, with early voting beginning September 19.
