A man died after officers shot him in Fairfax County, [Virginia,] police said.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to an apartment in the 5700 block of Backlick Road in the Springfield area for the report of a suspect hiding in a bedroom, Fairfax County police said.
Patrol officers and a K9 unit encounted the suspect. He threatened authorities with a sword and didn't comply with their commands. The officers then fired less-lethal beanbag rounds and lethal rounds, and the suspect was struck and fell to the ground, police said.
Officers immediately provided medical care and CPR. The suspect was taken to a hospital but he died soon after, police said.
The suspect's name was not released. Officers had tried to serve child pornography-related warrants on the suspect Friday night but he allegedly gave false identification and fled.
One officer has been placed on routine administrative leave, and police are continuing to investigate the incident.
