White said 911 was called numerous times after residents reported seeing a man in his 40s carrying a pistol and firing it in the air and at others.
When officers arrived and asked him to drop the weapon, he reportedly refused to comply, causing an officer to shoot the man, according to police.
He was taken to a nearby trauma center where he later died.
