A man who was shot and injured by police in Hull amid reports he was "running around with an axe" has died from his injuries.
The 31-year-old's death was announced by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which had already launched an investigation into the incident in the city centre.
Armed officers had been deployed to Holderness Road just after 9am on Tuesday morning "following reports of concerns for the safety of the public in relation to a man" near a post office.
The IPCC says it is believed that officers fired more than one shot at the man, and a Taser was also discharged.
He had been taken to hospital in a critical condition following the shooting.
Forensic officers, as well as investigators from the IPCC, have been examining the scene.
IPCC associate commissioner Tom Milsom said: "Our thoughts are with the man's friends and family, and all those affected at this very difficult time."
