Police were initially called to a home on Quia Road, Gunnedah, on Friday, following reports of a concern for welfare.
Authorities spoke to the man outside of his home, before the man went back inside and returned armed with a bow and arrow.
“Police returned to their vehicle for cover; however, a police firearm was discharged when the man aimed at officers,” NSW police said in statement.
The man was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for a gunshot wound but he died at the scene.
A critical incident team from State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad will lead the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
