He told reporters the paramedic was a part of a SWAT team that had been called to a domestic situation at the home.
Inside, an armed man had barricaded himself with his family, including seven children ranging in age from 2 to 15, Evans said.
Adam Finseth, 40, a firefighter and paramedic for the city since 2019, also was killed.
She and her husband peered out of their sunroom and saw squad cars and a phalanx of police officers.
None of the relatives of the officers or the firefighter immediately returned phone messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
