Happened about 6 blocks from my house. I came home from the Twins season opener and there were still a couple squads in the alley when I drove by. Good shoot guys and I hope Boomer gets well soon!

St. Paul Police say investigators found at least two suicide notes on the computer of the man fatally shot by officers Monday night.
A police spokesman says Tuesday that 34-year-old Jerome Jeske pointed a gun at officers in an alley. When he wouldn't put the gun down, officers shot him just after 6 p.m.
On his MySpace page, Jeske wrote 'I love you all...goodbye...I am sorry' and had set his mood as 'done' on the same day as the incident.
Jeske was known around the Twin Cities music scene as a bassist of a heavy metal group. Matt Beale told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he couldn't believe his band mate is gone.
"Bob was a great guy: Big heart, good musician, and good friend," Beale said. "I understand police have to do their job. I wish they could have used a non-lethal method but it's too late now."
Other friends of Jeske say he had been troubled for several months after another of their friends had committed suicide.
"I was just shocked. It's not like Bob to do anything like that," Beale said.
Jeske's sister, who wished to remain unidentified, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS her family is shocked and never expected this to happen.
A police dog named Boomer was shot in the head during the incident. The animal is in stable condition at the University of Minnesota's veterinary hospital. St. Paul Police spokesman Pete Panos says it's not clear who shot the dog.
The three officers who fired their guns are on paid administrative leave, which is standard after such a shooting.
The last time St. Paul police fatally shot someone was in September 2007.
