Authorities are investigating a shooting that left two people dead and one injured in Wadena County.

The Wadena County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy attempted to make a traffic Saturday night in North Germany Township in Wadena County when the shooting took place.

Authorities say the vehicle stopped near 270th Street, and a struggle happened between the deputy and the driver. A second vehicle then came to the scene, followed by an officer from the Sebeka Police Department.

The struggle continued and authorities say at least one of the drivers began shooting at authorities. One of the officers returned fire. Authorities say all four people were shot in the incident.

One of the drivers died at the scene. The other was taken to a hospital in Wadena where they later died.

The deputy was taken to a hospital in Park Rapids and later transferred to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale with serious but non life-threatening injuries. The Sebeka officer was struck in their vest, and didn't require medical treatment.

The shooting is under investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
