KILLDEER, ND ( KXNET ) — A Dunn County man has been arrested for threatening a subcontractor at Killdeer High School on Tuesday morning.

According to the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page , a report was called in around 6:45 a.m. saying that a person showed up to the Killdeer High School and threatened a subcontractor with a firearm.

When deputies arrived, they found the suspect, a 61-year-old Dunn County man. After a short pursuit, he was brought into custody and taken to the Southwest Multi-County Correctional Center. Two handguns were seized as evidence.
