The Aurora police department now says an armed man killed by an officer early Wednesday was trying to stop a man from taking his backpack at a bus stop.
Police say Dominique Harris, 32, tried to snatch the man's backpack and run when the man pointed a gun at Harris. Harris was later cited for misdemeanor theft.
The officer and his partner, who did not fire his weapon, are both on paid leave as authorities investigate what happened. They were monitoring a nearby security camera while on patrol around 2:30 a.m. when they saw two men at a bus stop struggling over a backpack.
According to police, as the officers approached the struggle, they radioed in that one of the men had a gun. A few seconds later, they reported shots fired. Police say the 21-year-old man who was shot later died at a hospital.
