Malta, New York (AP) – A man was shot dead by the police on Wednesday after he shot several rounds in a state police barracks in the state of New York, authorities said.
The shooting occurred shortly before 2 pm in the Saratoga barracks in Malta, located about 30 miles (48 km) north of the capital of Albany.
The roads surrounding the barracks closed about two hours later when the police investigated.
After receiving a shots report near the barracks, the soldiers left the building and “hired the suspect, fatally wounding the individual,” according to a state police statement.
Preliminary investigation determined that the man reached the barracks with a “hunting rifle” and bees.
Police said the shooting did not posed in the threat of public security.
