The #FargoPD is alerting residents about a “brushing” scam that has been appearing across many states, including here in Fargo and Cass County.

A ‘brushing scam” is when you receive an unexpected package in the mail, often “from” a well-known company. The package may contain items such as rings, bracelets, bluetooth speakers or other gifts. However, there is no sender information, and it looks suspicious.

A total of five individuals sustained injuries. FPD can confirm that one of its officers has died as a result of sustained injuries and two remain in critical condition. Two other civilians sustained serious injuries, including the suspect who died as a result of the shooting.

If you or someone you needs help, please call us or seek help from local resources:

Moose on the loose: Please DO NOT approach the moose. DO NOT seek the moose out in your vehicle.
