UPDATE:

State Police are now investigating a standoff in Pulaski that ended with a man dying.

Authorities say James Burton Sr., 48, of Pulaski, was the person involved.

Sunday night police responded to a domestic call at a home on the 100 block of 4th Street.

Authorities say for the purposes of officer safety, the Town Police and Sheriff’s Deputies staged outside the residence and requested that Burton exit the residence.

When Burton did finally come out onto the front porch, he fired at the officers and Pulaski County Sheriff’s deputies staged at the scene.

Authorities attempted to make contact with Burton. During that time they heard at least one shot come from inside the home.

A State Police robot was later dispatched into the home, where it located Burton and confirmed he was dead.

Police then made entry and secured the scene.

Burton's body has been taken to the Medical Examiner's office for an autopsy.

The shooting is still being investigated.

ORIGINAL STORY:

One man is dead following a standoff with law enforcement in the town of Pulaski.

According to a release from the Pulaski Police Department, officers from that agency and the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office were called to the 100 block of 4th Street SE for a domestic violence call around 6:50 p.m. Sunday.

When the officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant, the individual refused to come out of his home and brandished several firearms according to the police department.

He also made several verbal challenges to officers on the scene, police said. At one point the man came out on the front porch and fired a weapon, at which point police say they fired back.

The man went back into the home.

Pulaski police used a Virginia State Police robot to enter the home and provide a secure view of the scene. A team of officers then went inside and found the man, who was dead.

An investigation is underway.
