They found a man waving a knife and threatening people.
When he did not drop it, after being asked and told to do so, they shot him with a taser.
After that failed to work they then attempted to use a gas gun, which was ineffective as well.
The man then came at police, with the knife, and officers fired several shots.
An ambulance rushed the man to the hospital, but he died from his wounds Tuesday afternoon.
Officials believe that the man was on some sort of drug and are hoping an autopsy will tell them what drug or drugs were involved.
No one else was injured in the incident.
The officers involved have been put on paid leave while an investigation is underway.
