He was among the many motorists who crashed on the snowy and icy section of I-35 on Friday afternoon.
The interstate ended up being closed for hours after conditions led to a pileup on the northbound interstate, with Wyoming PD posting pictures of the snarl, which it said was the result of drivers going too fast for the conditions.
The investigation into the shooting is being carried out by the Minnesota State Patrol.
