A man and a woman who fired at a home before exchanging gunfire with law enforcement last week in Appleton are facing several felony charges, court records show.
Brandon Gerrod Corbett, 32, and Sunjin Kim Corbett, 36, both of Appleton, are charged with three counts of first-degree attempted murder of a police officer and one count each of first-degree assault against a police officer, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and reckless discharge of a firearm.
According to charging documents filed in Swift County, law enforcement first responded to a report of a suspect shooting at a home and trying to break into a car parked outside around 9 a.m. Friday.
Once on scene, two Swift County deputies approached the two suspects, the complaint states. The suspects allegedly fired at the deputies, and the deputies returned fire before the suspects ducked into the car they had been trying to enter.
The Corbetts then barricaded themselves inside the car, drawing a SWAT response. They eventually surrendered and were taken to the Douglas County Jail, where they remain in custody.
Investigators found 15 bullet holes in the home. The homeowner told police he witnessed Brandon Corbett fire at least five rounds at the house and also saw Sujin Corbett shoot at police.
No one was injured. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension continues to investigate the use of force by law enforcement.
Both defendants are being held on $750,000 bail with conditions or $1 million bail without conditions.
