Daniel Schlienz, a former pro boxer who was on trial for criminal sexual misconduct, allegedly opened fire at a courthouse in Grand Marais after hearing the guilty verdict.

The suspect in a shooting at a Grand Marais courthouse has died, according to Cook County jail officials. Authorities tell KSTP that 42-year-old Daniel Schlienz had been ill and under intense supervision. He allegedly shot two people, including the prosecutor, at a courthouse after he was found guilty of criminal sexual misconduct.

The Duluth News Tribune obtained a recording of a phone call that Daniel Schlienz made from jail after two people were wounded in a Grand Marais courthouse following his conviction for criminal sexual misconduct. Schlienz, who died in custody after falling ill, blamed the court system. The county attorney who prosecuted him says Schlienz "stole the story with his violence" and that the real story is that they locked up a dangerous predator.

42-year-old Daniel Schlienz shot and injured three people after trial proceedings of a sexual assault case where he stood as the defendant. Schlienz father says the trial had taken its toll on his son and he had become suicidal.

The father of the man held in the courthouse shooting in Grand Marais says his son feels sorry for what he's done. He says the suspect has very little recognition of the events that led to the shooting of three people in the courthouse.

The trial and death of Daniel Schlienz, who opened fire in a courthouse after he was found guilty of criminal sexual misconduct, has exposed a rift in a small town where older men routinely pursued girls still in high school. Said one parent: "People knew about it, and nothing was done."

Bulletproof glass, security training and armed guards are among the steps Twin Cities prosecutors are taking to protect themselves after the court shooting in Grand Marais. The Star Tribune reports many courthouses were looking to increase security even before the shooting.
