“I want to recognize the individual off-duty police officer who eliminated the threat, and took down the suspect,” said St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, noting that Falconer “clearly prevented additional injuries and potentially loss of life.”
Kleis called Falconer a hero, saying he “happened to be in the right place at the right time.”
Falconer identified himself as a police officer, and the suspect lunged at him, Kleis said according to the St. Cloud Times. It was at that moment Officer Falconer opened fire, killing the suspect.

Getting to the point where we will all have to carry a weapon every time we venture away from our home. Kudos to Officer Falconer. His actions saved lives.
He is also an NRA instructor.
