The man was taken to the hospital where he later died, according to officials.

The officer has since been placed on leave, police said, per standard protocol. It hasn't been disclosed whether they were injured.

According to officials, there is no further threat to the community in connection with the incident. 

Cadillac is around 207 miles northwest of Detroit.
