Sgt. Bill Lowe with Missouri State Highway Patrol said police were called to the house around 2:40 p.m. by a family member of the man, identified as 60-year-old Larry San Nicolas.
Lowe said the man was acting despondent, irrational and violent.
Lowe said when officers arrived San Nicolas came out holding two “samurai-type swords.”
After he refused to comply with commands from officers, an officer shot him with two less-lethal bean bag rounds, which Lowe said, “did not have an effect.”
Lowe said the man continued to “rush towards the officers in a threatening manner,” at which point another officer shot the man.
Police at the scene confirmed the man was injured and taken to a hospital.

Hours later, authorities confirmed San Nicolas died of his injuries at the hospital.
No officers were injured. Grandview PD requested that Missouri State Highway Patrol to assist in the investigation.
