A Grasston, Minn., man revved the engine of the stolen BMW and drove at a Minneapolis police officer before three of her colleagues opened fire, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday.

Steven Dion Kellum, 42, is charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree assault and theft of a motor vehicle, both felonies.

He was in custody at Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was in serious condition, said Sgt. Jesse Garcia, a police spokesman. His bail is set at $250,000.

Kellum has a criminal history dating back at least to 1986, according to records. Most of the cases occurred in Hennepin County and many are related to burglaries and thefts.

The shooting happened about 6 p.m. Friday near Cedar Lake Road N. and W. Chestnut Avenue. It came about an hour after the BMW was stolen from the home of former WCCO-TV anchor Jeanette Trompeter.

Police were receiving delayed global positioning satellite system updates on the location of the BMW, which belongs to David Azbill, Trompeter's boyfriend. Officers were waiting on Cedar Lake Road where Kellum stopped the car, according to the complaint.

Officers got out of their squad cars with guns drawn, and Kellum revved the engine, driving at officer Gretchen Bloss, who was standing in the street between her car and a parked vehicle, the complaint said. As Bloss jumped out of the way, three officers opened fire.

On Monday, Garcia identified those officers as Daniel Anderson, Richard Taylor and Danielle Evans. Along with Bloss, Sgt. Shannon Barnette and officer Kurtis Schoonover witnessed the shooting. Some may return to work as early as Tuesday, Garcia said.

Kellum also was identified by the manager of the Burger Jones restaurant in Minneapolis as the man who skipped out on his bill, according to the complaint. After the car was stolen and before the shooting, a man ordered three alcoholic drinks and left without paying $29.77, according to a police report.

The manager tried to stop the man, but he slammed a door on the manager's hand, the complaint said. The manager identified Kellum in a photo and gave police a partial license plate number, which matched that of the BMW.
