This occurred in the small town where I grew up.
The cops aren't saying anything yet.
The cop worked for 5 years in another town 70 mi to the south west. His tenure there was marked by multiple citizens' complaints about aggressive behavior. He had been working in Rocky Ford for 5 months.
Looks like the victim was no angel.

Rocky Ford full of questions about deathROCKY FORD Police Chief Frank Gallegos said Tuesday that he and his police department have the same questions the community does about what transpired the night a police officer shot and killed a 27-year-old man.

We have the same questions as the community. I know it looks bad when there are statements going around that he was shot in the back and that the officer did this and this. I cant say if it is true or if it is not true because I am not privy to the investigation at this point.

Well, if the cop shot him, he needed to be shot. Him being shot in the back has no bearing on the incident. He just happened to be facing away from at the time. When you need to be shot, you need to be shot. I am sure the cop perceived a threat. Nowadays it is easy for an officer of the law to perceive a threat, an infant lying asleep in a crib, an individual reaching for his driver's license after being ordered to get them. the list is endless, and the solution for every perceived threat is to kill someone.

Doctors told her Monday that the baby is a girl.
That fact just adds so much to this story.

Sounds like everyone involved was some sort of idiot.
