When officers arrived, one of the men ran from the car, pointing a gun at police. Police fired on the man, fatally wounding him

Reports say no one in the day care was hurt.

The children were moved to a nearby church.

The other two people in the car were arrested.

Earlier in the day, police in St. Paul fatally shot a man.
