A man who intervened in a shooting that killed a police officer near Denver was shot and killed by a responding officer while holding the suspect’s AR-15, police said Friday.

Johnny Hurley, who has been described by police as a hero who prevented further bloodshed, shot suspect Ronald Troyke on Monday after Troyke gunned down Arvada Officer Gordon Beesley with a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun.

After shooting Beesley twice, Troyke shot out the windows of police cars in the city’s downtown district, returned to his truck to get an AR-15 and was confronted by Hurley, who shot him with a handgun. When an officer arrived, Hurley was holding Troyke’s AR-15 and the officer opened fire, police said.

Note to self:

Don’t hold a weapon after you kill the bad dude in public.

“Hands up. Don’t shoot”.

Poorly written, incredibly so. That is par for the education establishment now—especially from Oregon.

Cops tend to react badly to anyone holding a firearm who is not obviously a cop.

Not enough details yet. Did the responding officer give Hurley opportunity to surrender and instead of instantly complying made alarming wrong moves, or did he flat open fire at the first sight of Hurley.

The only problem with that is if the suspect has an accomplice or accomplishes, which often is the case.

You bet. Lots of undercover cops have been shot at/killed by responding cops.

Memo: If tempted to help the police, don’t. They might kill you.
