The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the fact it was part of a planned operation suggested officers had "acted on intelligence rather than responding to an unexpected event". At the scene: BBC reporter Nick Garnett
He said it would be the fifth fatal police shooting in England and Wales within nine months and the first involving West Yorkshire Police since December 2010. West Yorkshire Police is calling it a "pre-planned operation" and, looking at the number of police vehicles involved, it is fairly clear this wasn't a response to something the force did not know about.
The operation appears to have been planned around one car - believed to be an Audi.
It appears to have been heading off the M62 at around 5.30pm on Monday, heading towards Huddersfield, when it was stopped by at least one unmarked police car that was following it.
The car that was stopped, which is still there this morning, was boxed in. Shortly after this a shot was fired and a man died.
I've been shown a close-up photo taken overnight which shows the marks from what appears to be three bullets in the Audi's windscreen and a side window that has been smashed.
Eyewitness Rahul Tandon, from Halifax, told BBC Radio Leeds he stopped by police on the exit slip road of junction 24 as the drama unfolded.
"As we pulled off the motorway we could see a lot of police vehicles, a lot of flashing lights," he said.
"We were basically the first car that was stopped by police and we just waited and waited."
Mr Tandon added: "Over the next 10 to 15 minutes there was frenetic activity as more and more police vehicles arrived.
"At about 6.15am to 6.20am policemen were running up the slope to an ambulance and beckoning them to come quickly."
He said the police eventually told him and other drivers to leave the scene by reversing up the slip road and back on to the M62.
