Man Who Fatally Shot Gunman in Colorado Was Killed by Officer: Police
The man police called a hero for having shot and killed a suspected gunman in Colorado at a shooting incident earlier this week was found to have died in the incident due to having been shot by another police officer, authorities announced.
A series of shooting incidents in the Denver suburb of Arvada on June 21 left three people dead—veteran police officer Gordon Beasley, 51; suspect gunman Ronald Troyke, 59; and onlooker John Hurley, 40.
The Arvada Police Department said that a responding officer fatally shot Hurley—the man they called a hero—after he saw Hurley holding an AR-15.
