Looks like the armed resident was shot by responding LEO...

AURORA — The armed man shot by an Aurora Police Department officer responding to a reported home invasion early Monday morning was a resident of the house, an investigation has revealed. That man died at the hospital, according to a news release from APD. He had apparently shot and killed an intruder, who was found dead on the bathroom floor. A child was taken to the hospital with serious injuries caused by the intruder, the news release said.

The incident started with multiple 911 calls just before 1:30 a.m. Monday reporting a disturbance in the area of North Iola Street and east Montview Boulevard. According to the news release, a woman called 911 and said a man was breaking into her home at 10609 E. Montview Blvd. The release said officers “arrived to a very chaotic and violent scene” and heard gunshots inside the home.

The officers later encountered an armed man, according to the news release. One officer fired his weapon, hitting him. It wasn’t until later that investigators discovered the man lived inside the home.

Your thoughts on how this could be prevented by both the home's residents AND responding LEO?

My concern is that the resident who was auditorily compromised, stunned and partially in-shock, could not respond to LEO directives fast enough (or even know if they were actually LEO) before being shot.

Hopefully the body cam will yield some good actionable information for training and preparing.
