Wild Apartment Siege: Shocking New Video Captures Mayhem
Explosive Footage: Apartment Standoff Erupts Into Total Chaos
The summer heat was thick in Morehead, Minnesota, when police received a chilling call: a woman, terrified, had just been assaulted in her own apartment. The suspects—Nathan and Lucas Hyberg—were barricaded inside with two young children. A protection order had already been violated, and the tension was set to explode.

Bodycam footage begins with officers outside the apartment, voices tense as they demand, “Show us your hands, Daniel. Drop the gun.” The woman’s voice shakes as she recounts the attack—her neck grabbed, threats hissed, children still inside. Officers knock, plead, and negotiate, but the suspects refuse to answer, turning a domestic call into a dangerous siege.
Neighbors gather, whispering anxiously as officers strategize. “Nathan, we know you’re in there. We’re not going away,” one officer calls. The minutes drag on; officers worry about the children’s safety, the suspects’ desperation, and what weapons might be hidden inside. Every second feels like an eternity.
With the suspects refusing to open the door, police scramble to get a key from the landlord. The tension builds as officers warn, “If we have to key into this door, I do not know what you are doing behind that door. You will have a gun pointed at you if we have to key into the apartment.” The threat is real, and the risk is growing by the minute.
Finally, the door is breached. Officers burst in, guns drawn, shouting for Nathan and Lucas to show their hands. Suddenly, chaos erupts—gunfire flashes from inside the apartment. “Shots fired!” echoes through the hallway. Officers dive for cover, hearts pounding as the suspects barricade themselves deeper inside.
The standoff escalates as the Red River Valley SWAT team is called in. Armored vehicles surround the building, spotlights cut through the night, and officers bark commands through bullhorns: “Exit with your hands up!” Inside, terrified children cling to each other as their world shatters around them.
Gunfire erupts again. SWAT pushes through the chaos, determined to end the nightmare and rescue the children. Officers rush the apartment, drag the little ones to safety, shielding their eyes from the horror. Outside, paramedics check the children—miraculously, they’re unharmed.
But inside, the carnage is undeniable. Both Nathan and Lucas Hyberg are struck by gunfire. Lucas, 41, dies on the scene; Nathan, 42, is rushed to the hospital but doesn’t survive. Two firearms are recovered from the wrecked apartment. No officers are hurt, but the trauma lingers in every corner of the building.
As the dust settles, investigators comb through the wreckage—shell casings, shattered doors, bloodstains. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension launches a probe, and the Klay County Attorney’s Office weighs whether SWAT’s use of deadly force was justified. The community is left reeling, haunted by the explosive footage and the terrifying ordeal that unfolded in their midst.
For the two rescued children, the nightmare is finally over. For everyone else, the questions remain: How did a domestic call spiral into such chaos? And could anything have stopped the deadly standoff before it was too late?
