Police responded to a home invasion in the early hours of Monday in Aurora, Colorado, and fatally shot a man inside the residence. Officers later learned they had shot the armed resident, who had just shot and killed an intruder.
Officers with the Aurora Police Department arrived to a “very chaotic and violent” scene at 10609 E. Montview Blvd. around 1:30 a.m. on Monday, the police department said. At the residence, police encountered an armed man after hearing shots fired inside the home.
An officer shot the armed man, who turned out to be a resident in the home. The armed resident was transported to a hospital with gunshot wounds, but was later pronounced dead.
Authorities found the intruder inside the home, dead on the bathroom floor, KDVR reported. Police revealed that the armed resident had fatally shot the intruder.
Officers also found an injured child in the home. The juvenile was taken to a hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries caused by the intruder, police said.
The Adams County Coroner’s Office will release the identities of the two victims once their families have been informed of their deaths, police said.
“This is a very heartbreaking and tragic situation for everyone involved,” Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz said in a statement. “We are providing assistance through our victim advocates to help the family of the deceased resident through this very difficult time.”
The officer involved in the shooting, whose name has not been released, was placed on administrative leave per department policy, the Aurora Sentinel reported.

I actually think people should be allowed guns to protect their homes and families. But you could say that if he didnt have that gun out he might still be alive.
To say the least..
