Colorado man defends home, is destroyed by PD

Post by bignflnut »

WBAL TV 11 NBCreports 07-31-18 in Aurora, Colorado, a man who fatally shot an intruder in his suburban Denver home early Monday was killed by responding officers who saw him holding a weapon, investigators said.

The Aurora Sentinel reported police received multiple calls about a break-in at the home at about 1:30 a.m. and when officers arrived, they heard gunshots inside.

Aurora police, who described the scene in a statement as “very chaotic and violent,” said they encountered an armed man and fatally shot him. That man turned out to be the person who lived in the home. A second man, the suspected intruder, was found dead during a search.

A child also suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries at the hands of the intruder, but police did not release additional details, citing an ongoing investigation.

The commenter brings up a very important point to think through. That is the homeowner, having just fired a gun in an enclosed place, was unable to hear commands. Really screwed up seeing that the intruder had hurt a child in the home.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.

Gun control is racist.
