NEW YORK CITY — An armed 55-year-old man was shot and killed during a shootout with NYPD officers at a Home Depot parking lot in Staten Island Thursday morning.

Police responded to a 911 call about an individual with a gun at a Home Depot parking lot on Veterans Road West in Tottenville around 5:20 a.m.

When officers arrived at the scene, multiple gunshots were fired from the suspect, who was in a Jeep vehicle.

NYPD officers verbally engaged with the man and repeatedly instructed the suspect to drop his weapon, officials said at a press conference.

When the man didn't comply, five uniformed NYPD officers opened fire.

The suspect was hit multiple times. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The suspect's identity hasn't been released as of Thursday afternoon. A weapon was recovered at the scene.

According to a New York Daily News report, the incident may have been "a suicide by cop" and the suspect allegedly called 911 on himself.

Two officers were taken to a local hospital after the shooting to be evaluated as a precaution.
