In a press conference Tuesday, St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said a shooting involving officers on the city's north end last weekend did not measure up to department standards.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in a statement later Tuesday that Officer Anthony Dean shot and wounded Joseph Javonte Washington, 31, of Lakeville, who was wanted in connection with an earlier domestic incident. Washington is recovering at Regions Hospital.
