AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A man died after he was shot by officers Tuesday night near West Anderson Lane and Wooten Park Drive, according to the Austin Police Department.
APD said no officers were injured in the shooting. The initial call came in at 10:59 p.m.
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the man was "attempting to gain access" into a nail salon and convenience store, with a gun in his hand.
After officers encountered the man and asked him to drop his gun and put his hands up, they were met with resistance, according to Chief Davis. Five officers fired at the man, which led to his death, Davis said.
Austin Police said the area of West Anderson Lane, near Burnet Road, will continue to be shut down as the investigation continues into Wednesday morning. Police said drivers should plan their routes accordingly and expect delays.
APD said the 1700 block of West Anderson will remain closed until 1 p.m. while officers stay on the scene investigating.
Chief Davis will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. to provide more details about the incident. Wednesday marks Davis's third day on the job. She stepped into the role on Sept. 1 after moving from her previous position as assistant chief of the Cincinnati Police Department.
