SEDALIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man died after exchanging gunfire with Sedalia police officers Sunday night.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop A identified the suspect killed as Masen Moore, 22, of Sedalia.

According to Troop A's Tweets, the Sedalia Police Department responded to the 700 block of West Broadway Boulevard shortly before 6:30 p.m. for reports of a man armed with a gun at a home in the area.

After arriving at the home, troopers said Moore ran away. Officers then established a perimeter and tried to make contact with Moore by giving him verbal commands.

MSHP said that's when Moore allegedly shot at the officers. A Sedalia police officer shot back and hit the suspect.

Moore later died at the hospital, according to MSHP. Officials reported that he was also wanted for a felony parole violation as well as other warrants.

No officers or any other citizens were hurt during the shooting. Troopers said there is no active threat to the community.
