Two Carver County deputies shot a man Saturday outside a Chanhassen home after he continued to approach them with a knife despite orders to drop it, authorities said.

The suspect was struck by gunfire "multiple times," according to a news release from the Carver County Sheriff's Office, and taken to Hennepin Healthcare for treatment. His condition was not known Saturday evening.

Authorities said there was no threat to the community, and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was investigating.

According to authorities, the incident began with a report shortly after 2 p.m. of a domestic disturbance in the 7800 block of Harvest Lane. As deputies interviewed the complainant outside the home, the suspect came outside with the knife, which led up to the shooting.

Ridgeview Ambulance Service and the Chanhassen Fire Department provided medical treatment at the scene, and the Sheriff's Office also was assisted by Chaska police, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the State Patrol.
