Man shot dead by police in Barrow

Source?

"It is thought a concerned relative called police to the house at 8.30pm. Police were told that Hulmes, who was armed with a knife, had locked himself in, was making threats and had begun to stab himself."

A man who stabbed himself in the abdomen has died after being Tasered by police officers.

So are they trying to say he stabbed himself because of being tasered even though he was already stabbing himself or am I just reading this wrong?

He wanted to kill himself. Why waste police resources to try and save him?
