Colorado: 'Hero' who gunned down cop killer shot dead himself by police
A "hero" who fatally shot a cop killer was then shot dead himself by another officer called to the scene.
Johnny Hurley, 40, shot Ronald Troyke after the latter had gunned down Colorado officer Gordon Beesley with a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun.
Video footage shows Troyke, who had described police as the "enemy" and "expendable", driving his pick-up truck to an area near a library, shops and restaurants in Arvada, about seven miles from Denver.
He gets out of the vehicle carrying a gun before proceeding to kill Beesley and shoot out the windows of police cars in the area.
After returning to his pick-up to retrieve an AR-15 rifle, Troyke was confronted by Hurley, who shot him with a handgun.
When another officer arrived, Mr Hurley was holding Troyke's AR-15 and the responder opened fire, killing him, the local force said.
