   This fucking trigger happy cop needs to die.   
      
   An Army veteran who fired on an intruder in his Colorado home   
   was fatally shot by a police officer responding to the scene,   
   authorities said.   
      
   The Aurora Police Department said officers arrived to a "very   
   chaotic and violent" scene early Monday around 1:30 a.m. as they   
   were responding to multiple 911 calls about a disturbance in the   
   area of North Iola Street and East Montview Boulevard.   
      
   In a post on the department's website, Police Chief Nick Metz   
   said the dispatch center also had gotten a 911 call from a woman   
   inside a home on East Montview Boulevard that a man "was   
   breaking into her home."   
      
   When officers arrived, Metz said, they heard gunshots being   
   fired inside the home and encountered an armed man.   
      
   "An officer discharged his firearm striking the armed male, who   
   was transported to the hospital," Metz said. "Inside, officers   
   found an injured juvenile and the deceased adult male intruder   
   on the bathroom floor."   
      
   Metz said the armed man died at the hospital. The juvenile was   
   taken to a hospital with serious but non-life-threatening   
   injuries. Metz said the injuries had been caused by the intruder.   
      
   "Further investigation revealed the armed male encountered by   
   the officer was a resident of the home," Metz said in the   
   statement. "Our preliminary investigation has revealed the   
   deceased intruder on the bathroom floor was fatally shot by the   
   armed adult male resident."   
      
   He said the names of the victims as well as the alleged intruder   
   would be released by the Adams County Coroner's Office.   
      
   The armed man, however, was identified as Richard "Gary" Black   
   Jr. by Siddhartha Rathod, a lawyer representing his family's   
   estate.   
      
   Rathod told ABC News "a naked man kicked down the door to the   
   house, entered the house, and was found choking Black Jr.'s 11-   
   year-old grandson," strangling the boy in the bathtub. That   
   boy's father, Black's stepson, went in and began wrestling with   
   the naked man. Both he and Black were trying to save the boy.   
      
   "Mr. Black goes and gets his sidearm and shoots the intruder and   
   saves his grandson," Rathod said. "Mr. Black walks out of the   
   bathroom to see other individuals who had also come in the home.   
   Black's wife had called the police and ran outside. She   
   specifically told the police what her husband was wearing and   
   there was a naked man attacking her grandson. Mr. Black walks   
   out and is shot by police."   
      
   According to the lawyer, Black left the Army and became a   
   federal agent. Prior to that, he was awarded a Bronze Star, with   
   the first oak leaf cluster, an Army Combination Medal and a   
   Purple Heart. Rathod said Black received all commendations for   
   his service in the First Infantry Division simultaneously while   
   at an Army hospital during the Vietnam War.   
      
   Black was a member of the Citadel Class of 1966, according to   
   Kim Keeler of the Citadel's media relations.   
      
   "This is a very heartbreaking and tragic situation for everyone   
   involved," said Metz, the Aurora police chief. "We are providing   
   assistance through our victim advocates to help the family of   
   the deceased resident through this very difficult time."   
      
   The officer involved was placed on administrative reassignment   
   with pay, per the department's policy. The police department   
   said it would be holding a news conference later this week to   
   give more information about the incident.   
      
   The Aurora Police Major Crimes Unit as well as the Denver Police   
   Department and the 17th Judicial District DA's Office are   
   handling the investigation into the incident.   
      
   The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said the facts of   
   the investigation would be presented to the Office of the   
   District Attorney for a determination of whether criminal   
   charges should be filed against any involved person.   
      
   "In an effort to preserve this ongoing investigation, the Office   
   of the District Attorney has requested that the Aurora Police   
   Department not release any additional details at this time," the   
   office said in a statement.
