Glenn William Custer, 59, died at the scene of the shooting on Sunday, Pennsylvania state police said in a statement released on Monday morning.
Police were called to a domestic dispute at a home on Gilberg Lane in West Hanover Township, Dauphin County just after 5 p.m., according to the release.
When troopers arrived, Custer was acting erratically while holding a knife, as stated in the release.
Custer refused multiple demands to drop the knife, police say.
Instead, he ran towards occupied homes in the area then returned to the home where police first responded to the domestic dispute, according to the release.
As he approached the original home, he refused to listen to police and one trooper shot Custer— killing him, the release states.
Traffic was diverted from the area for many hours but the scene was announced to no long be active with no threat to the public on Monday around 9:30 a.m., by State Trooper Meghan Ammerman.
The investigation is still ongoing, police say.
