Regrann from @freedom_faction - Thoughts? When an #armedintruder broke into a family’s home early Monday morning, and reportedly began harming a juvenile inside, the homeowner did what he was supposed to do. He armed himself, called 911, and defended his home—and he was successful. However, after he’d successfully fended off the #homeinvader—by killing him—police then showed up and killed the innocent homeowner. According to police, they received a call from the homeowner notifying them that a man had broken into the home. When officers arrived, the scene was chaotic, according to police. “Officers arrived to a very chaotic and violent scene,” #AuroraPolice Chief Nick Metz wrote in a news release issued Monday afternoon. Police say they heard gunshots inside the home and when they ran inside, they found an armed man. The armed man was the homeowner and they killed him. There were no reports from officers claiming that the homeowner opened fire or even raised the gun toward officers. Also, none of the officers were hurt during the incident. After clearing the scene, according to Metz, police found the intruder dead on the bathroom floor. Metz explained that officers also found a child in the residence who’d been seriously injured by the intruder. The child was taken to the hospital for “serious, but non-life-threatening injuries” caused by the intruder, Metz said. According to Metz, the identities of the two men will be released by the #AdamsCounty Coroner’s Office. Metz also explained that the officer who killed the homeowner is on routine #paidadministrativeleave. As the #Denver Channel reports, the Aurora Police Major Crimes Unit, the Denver Police Department and the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office will conduct the investigation into the shooting. Police are also asking anyone who witnessed the shooting to call Detective Randy Hansen at 303-739-6710. “This is a very heartbreaking and tragic situation for everyone involved. We are providing assistance through our victim advocates to help the family of the deceased resident through this very difficult time,” Metz said in a statement. 🖐🏾More in comments👇🏾 - #regrann
