Bill Troyanos was working his normal shift at the Army Navy Surplus Store in Olde Town Arvada on Monday when he heard a pop. Then another. And another.

He moved to the door, peered outside, and saw a gunman across the town plaza.

Then a customer, a 40-year-old man Troyanos had never met, put his hand on his hip, drew a pistol and quickly rushed toward the plaza.

An Armed Citizen stopped a mass shooting. The media is memory holing this and desperately trying to hide what happened.

GoFundMe for the Hero’s family. They make clear that his story isn’t making national news. Wonder why? /s

He’s gonna need some big bux for lawyers fees. Right or not, he’ll be in court sooner or later. Sad dang state of affairs.

Certainly sounds as if there’s more to the story. Who killed Hurley? Who killed the bad guy? It is odd that there is little detail. I assume there are CCTV cameras around that might have gotten a scene capture.

We’ll have to wait see if there’s detail forthcoming.

God Bless men like Hurley.

He’ll need close to $100k before all his legal woes are over with.

My error for not reading the entire article. I didn’t know he was killed. RIP, hero.

“Certainly sounds as if there’s more to the story. Who killed Hurley? Who killed the bad guy? It is odd that there is little detail.”

local article quoted witness saying he saw Hurley charge the bad guy, emptying Hurley’s gun into the bad buy (5-6 shots), and the bad guy then slumped against a wall ... dollars to doughnuts the cops shot Hurley ... it makes zero sense to keep the identity of the bad guy secret unless the cops are trying to hide something ...

Police have not confirmed who shot the alleged gunman, identified Tuesday as Ronald Troyke, 59, of Arvada, or how Hurley died.

So did Ronald Troyke also die or was he arrested? This poorly written article never says. One has to assume he died, but that may or may not be the case since they never provided his status.

It's a shame Hurley died. May he rest in peace.

“i bet the cops killed him.”

That’d be a very likely hypothesis.

I’m gonna bet that there is never a millisecond x millisecond timeline released for all involved peeps.

Okay, but I sure didn’t see that mentioned in this article at all. Might just be my old eyes failing me though.

Very plausible.
“Hero” is focused on the attacker.
“Law enforcement” becomes focused on shooting anyone with a gun.
