A Princeton, Minn., man who shot five police officers in a standoff in 2023 was found guilty Thursday in Benton County District Court.

Karl Thomas Holmberg, 66, was found guilty of seven counts of attempted first-degree murder, seven counts of first-degree assault, and second-degree possession of a controlled substance.

Holmberg’s nine-day jury trial began Aug. 18.

The incident occurred on Oct. 12, 2023, at Holmberg’s residence in Glendorado Township near Princeton.

Officers with the Sherburne County Drug Task Force and Benton County Sheriff’s Office attempted to execute a knock-and-announce narcotics search warrant at the home, according to the criminal complaint.

Officers knocked several times, announced “police, search warrant” and entered the home when Holmberg began shooting.
