MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A woman believed to be involved in a dispute over her father's estate opened fire Monday at a county government building, killing the estate conservator and wounding an attorney, authorities said.
The shooting took place on the 17th floor of the Hennepin County Government Center in an area of housing court commonly called "harassment court," where people represent themselves in attempts to settle disputes.
Susan Berkovitz, 52, of the St. Paul area, was arrested by a sheriff's deputy without incident moments after the attack. She was in the county jail, held on probable cause for murder.
