Aurora Police ID Man Killed By Officer

Reporting

AURORA, Colo. (AP/CBS4) ― Police in Aurora have released the name of a robbery suspect who was shot and killed by a police officer Tuesday near Olympic Park.

Police said Wednesday that Brandon J. Winn, 18, had pointed a gun at officers when he was shot and killed by a single gunshot fired by an Aurora officer. The officer's name hasn't been released.

Winn was suspected of an armed street robbery in Denver last month. Aurora police spokeswoman Shannon Youngquist-Lucy says Denver and Aurora officers had staked out a home on Tuesday when Winn ran out, pointing a gun at them.

The shooting occurred near Olympic Park in the east Denver suburb.
