What We Know
The claim states that Superintendent Drew Evans of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reported that police responded to a shooting at the Hoffman residence in Champlin at around 2 a.m. on Saturday. This information was corroborated by a report from ABC News, which indicated that the shooting occurred at that time and that Superintendent Evans was the source of this information.

Analysis
The evidence supporting the claim comes from credible news sources that reported on the incident. Both ABC News and KSTP are established news organizations known for their journalistic integrity. They reported that Superintendent Drew Evans confirmed the time of police response to the shooting incident.
However, while the sources are reliable, the claim's context and implications should be examined further. The reports do not provide detailed information about the events leading up to the police response or the nature of the incident itself, which could be relevant for understanding the full scope of the situation.
Furthermore, the timing of the police response is critical in assessing the effectiveness of the emergency response system. While the sources confirm the time stated by Evans, additional details about the incident, such as the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the police's actions upon arrival, are not fully explored in the reports.
Conclusion
Needs Research. While the claim is supported by credible sources that confirm Drew Evans' statement regarding the police response time, further investigation is necessary to understand the broader context of the incident, including the circumstances leading up to the shooting and the police's subsequent actions. This additional information could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.
