When officers arrived, they encountered the man, who was armed with a knife. Authorities said officers gave commands for him to drop the weapon, but he continued to act in a combative manner.

Officers then opened fire, striking the man.

The suspect was transported to a hospital, where he later died.

No officers were injured during the incident.
