Fort Madison, Ia (AP) — Authorities say an armed man shot by a Fort Madison police officer has died. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says Wednesday that officers encountered the man after being sent late Tuesday to a manufacturing warehouse.

The man was armed with a handgun.

An officer shot the man, and he died later at a Fort Madison hospital. He was identified as 42-year-old Robert Allen Elfgen. The officer’s name hasn’t been released. Fort Madison Police Chief Mark Rohloff said the warehouse incident was related to the earlier shooting of another man.
