Police have also released the name of the three officers involved in the second shooting that resulted in the death of 19-year-old Romell Hill. Hill exchanged fire with the officers, who had responded to the apartment complex early Tuesday when a witness reported that suspects involved in the first shooting had returned.
Officer Adam Bailey was shot in the leg and is still being treated at Regions Hospital. He's expected to make a full recovery. The other officers were Thomas Weinzettel and Stephen Bobrowski.
The officers, who all joined the St. Paul Police Department in 2005, were on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure after such incidents.
Police said additional arrests are possible as they continue investigating.
