No-one else was hurt. Police are working to identify the man and contact his next of kin.
Derbyshire Constabulary’s Professional Standards Department has informed the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
A forensics tent remains in place at the scene on Friday afternoon.
A group of officers could be seen having discussions outside the premises, with police tape closing off access to Farmfoods and Topps Tiles.
Two forensics officers in white suits made their way to and from the blue tent at around 3.45pm.
As well as two marked police cars positioned inside the cordon, one further vehicle guarded the other end of Ascot Drive.
