A shootout with Ottumwa police left one suspect dead near an elementary school where about 40 children were attending summer day camp on Friday afternoon, that city’s police chief said.

The Des Moines Register reports two other suspects who were with the man who died are in police custody. One was injured during the gun battle and is being treated at Ottumwa Regional Health. His medical condition was not known, but police said his injuries were serious.

Another agency took a fourth man into custody at another location. It was not clear whether he was involved with the other suspects.
