A north suburban man who sheriff's police say came at them with a sword has died after he was shot by police last night.
Dead is Arturas Kolgalvas, 39, of the 3200 block of West Parkway, in unincorporated Glenview.
Cook County Sheriff's police were called to the 12 Oaks apartment complex yesterday afternoon on a domestic complaint, according to a department news release.
The victim of the alleged domestic violence managed to get out of th apartment, but Kolgalvas barricaded himself inside and the hostage barricade team was called in.
After about an hour, police say Kolgalvas came out of the apartment waving a sword and "advanced on police in a threatening manner." He was shot by police once in the chest and died a short time later.
No one else was hurt in the incident.
As is protocol, the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Unit will investigate the shooting.
