Police: Man killed in home by Aurora PD Monday morning had fatally shot intruder minutes earlier

[Brain357]

AURORA, Colo. – Police confirmed Monday afternoon that the man they shot and killed early Monday morning is believed to have shot and killed another man who had broken into his home minutes earlier.

“Officers arrived to a very chaotic and violent scene,” Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz wrote in a news release issued Monday afternoon.

Metz said officers who arrived at the scene heard gunshots inside the home and ran into an armed man. An officer shot the man, who died at an area hospital.

After clearing the scene, according to Metz, officers found a juvenile injured inside and a man shot dead on the bathroom floor. The child was taken to a hospital for “serious, but non-life-threatening injuries” caused by the intruder, he said.

Both men’s identities will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office, Metz said. The officer who shot the resident of the home is on standard paid administrative leave.

Police: Man killed in home by Aurora PD Monday morning had fatally shot intruder minutes earlier

A sad incident. But it really shows what happens when too many people are armed. Imagine police responding to a mass shooting with lots of armed individuals.

The home owners door should have been hardened against forced entry. It could have bought him time to identify himself. Did the police identify themselves before or during entry? Could be a large lawsuit in the families future. Its an unfortunate story alltogether the police killed the good guy, meanwhile the bad guy survives. Not doubt in part due to their intervention...

It shows what happens when you get cops involved entering a situation where they don't know a thing going on and just shoot anyone with a gun even if it's not pointed at them. Things were under control until police arrived. Lastly, if you had a lot of armed individuals, you wouldn't have a mass shooting in the first place; there has never been a single mass shooting where it wasn't just one armed assailant against a bunch of UNARMED people. If everyone were actually armed, the attacker never would have attacked, but even if he did, they would all be shooting back at ONE THING: the attacker.

As for the police, Parkland has shown they'd just wait outside smoking cigarettes waiting for a SWAT team to arrive. Guns save lives. Police shoot wantonly because they have no accountability.

A sad incident. But it really shows what happens when too many people are armed. Imagine police responding to a mass shooting with lots of armed individuals.

There are 600 million guns in private hands. 17 million people carry guns for self defense.

According to the CDC 2.4 million times a year Americans use their guns to stop rape, robbery and murder.

According to the Department of Justice, they believe that number is 1.5 million times a year.

And you found one case where the confusion results in a death...

And you think that is an intelligent post?

Sooooo...what you are saying is this...


The law abiding gun owner managed to effectively use their gun to stop a home invader. They called the police, while the situation was under control....

The police showed up, lost control and killed the innocent man. So where exactly is this the problem of a law abiding gun owner who actually used his gun responsibly...while the police fucked up?

Your thread actually shows that of the two, the police should lose their guns, not the law abiding gun owner.

But... I feel the police in this case should be held to the same standard as any civilian who might shoot the wrong man in “the confusion”. There needs to be one, and only one standard of law for all. Anything less is more than a”slippery slope”. It’s a no speed limit expressway...

Why hasn’t that happened yet? There are so many mass shootings lately and there are many millions of concealed weapons holders in the US, but it hasn’t happened one time yet. Why would that be?

Oh yeah! It’s because these shootings happen in gun free zones.

If there is so much defending going on, why is our homicide rate 4-5X that of countries with strong gun control?

Our police are very quick to shoot people because they are themselves often shot. These things don't happen where there is strong gun control. Police rarely are shot and rarely shoot people in countries with strong gun control.

And you have been beaten on this one over and over.

The man attacked from an ambush with surprise..... he was quickly cornered and contained...

What you don't want to talk about is that there were dozens of armed citizens in that march. Many had AR-15 rifles on their shoulders during that march and when the attack happened, the police did not shoot them, they did not shoot the police, the armed citizens moved out of the way and let the Black Lives Matter shooter be dealt with by the police..

So you just negated your original post..... a mass public shooting, with dozens of armed citizens, many with AR-15 rifles, and no law abiding gun owner was shot by mistake.....

Because if those people didn't have their legal guns to stop those rapes, robberies and murders our violent crime rate would be higher than Britains....Britains violent crime rate is higher than ours after they banned and confiscated guns......
