Also, it wasn't a simple shoplifting that started the event and to top it off, the suspect shot at an Aurora PD officer who is a friend.Quote:

Why wouldn't insurance cover it? It wasn't the owner's fault.Quote:

Whether the insurance company can then turn around and sue GVPD for indemnification (and I'm pretty sure such a suit would be barred by the doctrine of Sovereign Immunity unless it was a civil rights case) is not the homeowner's concern. He paid his premiums, now the insurance company needs to pay him.
Because insurance companies do there best to wriggle out of any payouts.Quote:

Insurance policies have a specific exclusion for police action. For example, if your house gets raided and torn apart, insurance won't cover.
Maybe he (the home owner) can get some traction because he wasn't the reason the police were there, but I don't know.
