Okay, you need to leave. Back off of me. 212 send me emergency cover. Get back. I'm going to [ __ ] shoot you, dude. Get back. On May 12th, 2025 at approximately 3:00 p.m. in the 19,900 block of East 56th Avenue in Aurora, Colorado, police received a 911 call about a suspicious man trespassing at an offsite airport parking lot. The caller said the man was checking car door handles and refusing to leave. An Aurora PD officer arrived around 5:15 p.m. and staff reported the suspect was still on the property and growing more aggressive. The officer found the man, 32-year-old Rashad Terrell Johnson, and attempted to make contact. Less than a minute later, Johnson suddenly charged the officer, triggering a violent struggle. Multiple 911 calls then poured in saying an officer was in trouble. This video begins with the original 911 calls, then the officer's body cam picks up the moment everything spirals out of control. What happens next is terrifying, especially for the officer alone on scene. And now for the video. Tell me exactly what happened. So, we have a guy that we've get given a couple waters and he's just sitting in the office, but he seems like he's off some type of drug or something and there's another lady in there that's working and she's feeling uncomfortable. Do you think he needs an ambulance or just somebody to come out and check on him? Just somebody to come check on him. I don't think he needs an ambulance. He's not going to get off my lot. He's not talking. He's just He's walking in and out of my office trying to unlock people's car doors. I've placed a call to you guys already about a gentleman on my lot. He's trying to fight myself and a couple of my other my employees. They told me to call if anything changes with this gentleman. Okay, let me know if he's trespassing. That's fine. Okay, so he's trying to fight with you now? He's trying to fight me and my employees, a couple of my other employees. 212 I'll be making contact with this individual. Hey man, what's going on today? Where are your shoes at? Can you talk to me? Can you tell me what's wrong? What's going on today? Huh? Well, I don't know. Why are you back in this gate? Huh? Why don't you have any shoes on? Don't be messing with that. Don't be messing with that. Quit. Stop messing with that. Do you know how to listen to what I'm telling you to do? Huh? Okay, you need to leave. Back off of me. 212 send me emergency cover. Get back. I'm going to [ __ ] shoot you, dude. Get back. Get off me, man. What are you doing? Come on. You're not in trouble. What? You're not in trouble. You're not in trouble, man. Step it up. Step it up. HEY MAN, HELP ME! [ __ ] POLICE ARE HERE. HUH? Get back. Get back. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. GET ON THE GROUND. I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU IF YOU DO NOT GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. STOP. GET BACK. I AM GOING TO [ __ ] SHOOT YOU, DUDE. BACK UP. GET DOWN. 212 SHOTS FIRED. STAY DOWN. Put your hands out. 212 shots fired. I'm okay. Suspect is down. He uh got my magazines off my belt. We tussled on the ground for a while. I need fire hot. I need more cars here. You're probably wondering, just like myself, why don't police officers render first aid after shooting a suspect who is no longer a threat? Even if a suspect appears disabled or down, officers are trained to treat every situation as dangerous until the scene is fully secure. Some suspects have feigned injury to launch surprise attacks, so police often wait for backup before approaching. While some officers carry basic medical gear like tourniquets or trauma kits, most are not paramedics. Their training is limited and their primary responsibility is law enforcement, not medical care. Many departments also lack clear policies requiring officers to give aid after a shooting. Officers may hesitate out of fear of making injuries worse or violating department protocol. If the suspect dies, any misstep could lead to legal consequences, especially in civil court. Psychologically, officers who just used deadly force may be in shock or experience tunnel vision, delaying their ability to assess or act logically. Standard procedure in most departments is to call EMS and wait unless a civilian or officer is critically injured. Until medics arrive, officers typically focus on securing weapons, managing the perimeter, and ensuring the scene is safe. If a weapon is still visible or it's unclear whether the suspect acted alone, officers may wait for SWAT or shielded backup before rendering aid. I'm good. Uh maybe here. Yeah, Denver's out with me. Still waiting on fire. Okay. Roshad Terrell Johnson was taken to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Johnson died shortly after his arrival at the hospital. The officer also was taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries he sustained during the fight. The shooting is now under investigation by a critical incident review team. Aurora police have also launched an internal investigation to determine why it took over 2 hours to dispatch an officer to the scene of the call and why they only sent a single officer.
