Officers shot and killed a man during negotiations inside a Silver Spring apartment where gunfire had been earlier reported, Montgomery County Police said.

At 11:40 p.m., the Montgomery County Emergency Communications Center received a call reporting that a person was in distress in an apartment in the 3300 block of Hampton Point Drive where a man with a gun was inside with his mother, police said.

Officers responding to the scene heard gunshots coming from the apartment before authorities sent SWAT officers to the location, police said.

As patrol officers negotiated with the man, police said, SWAT officers entered the apartment and shot him. Police did not provide details on what occurred that prompted officers to fire or the condition of the man’s mother.

The man died later at a hospital, police said. Police have not yet released any additional information about the man.

A Montgomery County Police spokesman said the investigation has been handed to the Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division.
