Homeowner killed by police after homeowner killed intruder

Post by kcclark »

In Aurora, Colorado.
A resident who had just shot and killed an intruder was shot and killed himself by Aurora police early Monday morning.
Dispatchers also received a 911 call from a woman at the address who said a man was breaking into her home, police said.

Police described the scene as chaotic. Upon arriving, officers heard gunshots fired from inside the home, and encountered an armed man, police said. An officer fired his gun, hitting the man who turned out to be a resident. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

After the resident was shot, officers went inside the home and found an injured juvenile and a dead man police described as an “intruder,” who was down on a bathroom floor.

Sounds like it was a crazy situation with the intruder coming from a party across the street, breaking down the front door, and then followed in by other people from the party who were trying to stop him. Dead homeowner was Bronze Star recipient and hard of hearing.
Black emerge from behind a wall about 15 to 20 feet away inside holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand, Metz said.

For the next 13 seconds, officers gave commands to Black to drop the weapon and show his hands, but he didn't, Metz said.

Ten seconds later, Black walked toward officers with the gun and flashlight still in his hands, prompting the officer to fire four rounds at him. It is unclear how many times Black was struck.
