Officers with the Navajo Police Department in Tuba City shot and killed a man armed with a gun Monday.
Department officials say officers responded to the NHA housing after receiving reports of a man with a weapon and a woman heard screaming.
The man allegedly pointed a gun at the officers once they arrived. An officer fired and missed before the man retreated into the residence.
Police say officers shot and struck the man during a second encounter.
He later died and has yet to be publicly identified.
The incident was referred to the Navajo Department of Criminal Investigation and the FBI for further investigation.
