Long Prairie man fires back at deputies
Published:
Thursday, July 17, 2003
Gary Edward Dreher, 48, of Long Prairie was hospitalized after a Tuesday morning gunfight with Todd County deputies who were waiting to arrest him for violating an order for protection and making terroristic threats. The deputies were uninjured, but Dreher was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition.
According to Sheriff David Kircher, Dreher rammed a squad car. When the deputies were trying to arrest him he fired a shotgun at them. Kircher said the bullet hit a squad car and narrowly missed an officer. That was when the deputies shot him, Kircher said. One bullet went through his arm into his chest.
