This happened few days ago.
Former roommate complained about a fight and this guy didn't listen to officers' commands.
Instead, he went for a shotgun and got shot inside his apartment through the window.
Another reminder to think before touching a firearm even if it's inside your residence...
When officers arrived, they saw Huff standing next to a truck. Several officers reported Huff ran into his home when police walked toward him.
The affidavit says several officers saw Huff standing in his living room in front of a large window. One officer even waved at Huff and “was certain Andrew Huff saw her and recognized her as a police officer.”
An officer knocked on the door, but nowhere in the affidavit does it mention officers verbally identifying themselves as police. A press release says Huff reappeared in front of the window with a shotgun.
That’s when one of the officers opened fire.
The victim now says that the police officers never identified themselves verbally (even though he saw them and should have figured out they are officers).
