17-year-old killed in Bismarck officer-involved shooting early Sunday morning

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – A 17-year-old male was killed Sunday morning after an officer-involved shooting took place in the Kirkwood Mall parking lot in Bismarck.

Three Bismarck Police Officers were involved in the shooting, and they were uninjured.

On Nov. 12 at around 12:15 am, officers responded to the area around 900 S 3rd St. In Bismarck regarding a report of gunfire in the area.

Multiple calls were received regarding the gunfire, and officers were able to determine a shooting took place around Everspring Hotel.

That shooting led police to investigate 17-year-old Nicholas Bruington of Bismarck, for allegedly shooting at another juvenile. That juvenile is not believed to be injured.

Officers conducted a traffic stop around 1:50 a.m. on a vehicle that Bruington was a passenger in near Scheels in the Kirkwood Mall Parking lot.

Bruington had a firearm, did not follow commands, and was shot at by three Bismarck Police Officers. After securing the scene, officers began life-saving measures until he was transported to a local hospital.

Bruington was pronounced deceased after arriving at the hospital.

The investigation has been turned over to the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigations, which is standard protocol for the Bismarck Police Department.

All three officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation by NDBCI.
