The man then fled the scene, with the officers chasing after him, with the assailant continuing to shoot at the officers, police say.
None of the officers was hit, though one was lightly injured as he tripped and fell during the chase.
The police officers opened fire at the suspect, killing him. The gun was recovered at the scene.
