South Dakota deputy with Minnesota ties dies days after shooting

A South Dakota deputy with Minnesota ties died Monday after spending days in the hospital following an officer-involved shooting last week. According to the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Katherine Frank, 26, died surrounded by family and loved ones. The agency said she had served with the sheriff’s office for more than two years and worked in corrections before becoming a deputy. “She served the citizens of Minnehaha County with professionalism, humility, and dedication,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “Her absence will be felt deeply by all who have had the privilege of working alongside her.” Authorities said officers responded at a home on Keyrell Drive in Sioux Falls on Oct. 9. About 30 minutes after they arrived, gunfire erupted, striking Frank and another deputy. Authorities later identified the suspect as 39-year-old Brandon Oetken, who faces criminal charges. Meanwhile, Frank also had ties to Minnesota. Her father, Steven Frank, is a pastor at St. Paul’s
