A Las Vegas man is dead following an officer involved shooting that happened just after 1 a.m. at St. Rose Hospital's Sienna Campus.

Police say the 48-year-old man entered the emergency room with a gun threatening to commit suicide. A patient told Eyewitness News that he heard a man announce he was going to kill himself and then heard a woman shout for everyone to get down before several shots were fired.

Police say the man did not comply with their commands and pointed a gun at officers before he was shot. The officers are on paid leave pending a review of the shooting.

The man's identity will be released by the Clark County Coroner after he has been positively identified.

The emergency room is not accepting any patients at this time.
