An investigation was underway after an allegedly armed man was shot and killed by police in Pomona overnight.

The shooting happened around 11:57 p.m. Tuesday after officers responded to a call about a man with a gun at a motel on Holt Avenue, according to the Pomona Police Department.

The suspect ran from the scene and pulled out a gun before officers opened fire at the intersection of Hamilton Boulevard and Center Street, the department said.

Investigators believe the suspect, who has not been identified, fired at officers, prompting them to fire back.

Additional details about what led up to the deadly shooting were not available, but video from the scene shows a car riddled with bullet holes and a shattered driver's seat window.

The suspect was taken to the hospital, where he later died. No officers were hurt.

Authorities say a gun was recovered at the scene.
