West Yorkshire Police has referred itself to the police watchdog
Officers were called to the domestic-related incident at a property on Sunday afternoon in Half Mile Green, Stanningley. The report led to a stand-off which lasted hours after officers encountered a man in possession of what appeared to be a firearm.
The force has said it has referred itself to the IOPC and has declared an independent investigation. "A cordon was put in and various emergency service resources, including armed officers and police negotiators, attended the scene with the aim of bringing the incident to a safe conclusion. At about 10.50pm, armed officers forced entry to the address, deploying distraction devices, and found the man critically injured. He was taken to hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.
