TL;DR - A gunman in Arvada, CO in 2021 was on a mission to kill cops. He took out one officer and was waiting on more to show up, but a civilian snuck up on him and took him out. The cops showed up, saw a man with a gun, and killed the hero thinking he was the gunman they were looking for. It's a super sad story.

Here's a more recent article about the aftermath and settlement.
Wow, I don't think I ever heard about this story. This appears to be a situation where the cop was too gung ho to take out the shooter. One would think proper police procedure would be to order him to drop his weapon, not just shoot first. Looks to me like this Hurley guy was a hero and the cop should not be a cop.
