North Aurora Police Fatally Shot Man 'Behaving Eractically': Cops

NORTH AURORA, IL — A man was fatally shot by a North Aurora police officer outside a home Tuesday night after authorities said he pointed a gun at three officers.

Police were called to a residence in the 400 block of Pine Creek Drive at around 9:30 p.m. for a man who was "behaving erratically," according to a statement. After they entered the home, authorities said a man approached the group of three officers with a handgun, which he then pointed directly at them.

Officials said the officers left the home, but the man followed them outside. After "many" attempts to get the man to drop the gun, one officer fired his weapon and struck him.

"Officers administered first aid to the subject until the ambulance arrived," the police statement said. "He was later pronounced deceased at the scene."

The shooting is being investigated by the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force Officer Involved Death unit. Police said the incident was isolated and there is no current threat to the community.
