Authorities have identified the armed man who was shot to death by police on St. Paul's East Side Monday afternoon.
Also released were the names of the four St. Paul police officers who were involved in the killing.
The man was identified as Justin Todd Tolkinen, 28, of St. Paul.
Police were called at 3:20 p.m. Monday on a report that a man was armed with a rifle at 411 White Bear Av. N. near Old Hudson Road in the Sunray-Battle Creek-Highwood neighborhood.
Police negotiators arrived at the scene and tried to talk to Tolkinen. Neighbors said he was wearing what looked like a bullet-resistant vest.
On Tuesday, Sgt. Paul Paulos, a St. Paul police spokesman, said the officers fired beanbag rounds at Tolkinen before they fatally wounded him.
"We used all means before deadly force was an option," Paulos said.
The four officers involved in the shooting were identified Tuesday as Jermaine Davis, Patrick Murphy, Brian Hall and Mark Farrington.
