I really do not know who that was. I do know from what I've seen in my area, I'd never join in a mass shooting response without a badge and uniform.
An Arvada police officer will not face criminal charges for mistakenly shooting and killing a “good Samaritan” who stopped an active shooter in Olde Town Arvada this summer, prosecutors…

From personal experience I'd never trust a cop not to murder me in an emergency.
For nearly 20 years I worked just down the road from a regional police academy, it was fine and we let them use our property for training all the time.................................................................until one fucking day, in broad fucking daylight, a deranged cop skidded to a stop while I was getting the mail and bailed out of the car and held me at gunpoint. I'm white, middle aged, in a work polo shirt with the same fucking name as the 8ft by 12ft sign in front of me. This demented cop was running on about 3 of 8 cylinders, his eyes were fully dilated and he was sweating profusely. He was screaming his ass off and demanding I get on the ground. His hands were shaking and he looked like he was about to shit himself. It looked like a mental breakdown.
Lucky for me, I've seen a gun before and I remained calm. A second officer skidded to a stop, not knowing anything about what was happening and jumped out of his car gun drawn. One screamed, "get your hands up!!!! and other screamed, "get on the ground!!!!!" Now we have two screaming assholes pointing guns at me and danger close to shooting me and both of them are screaming different things at me. Doing anything would get me shot.
After literally 90 seconds, these two assholes stopped screaming, stupidly looked at each other and asked what I was doing there. I pointed to the mail box and explained how people got mail from the post office and that it had been happening since Ben fucking Franklin invented it. Yeah, I was a dick. Then they demanded ID, I told them to go fuck themselves, since it was in my pocket and they had guns pointed at me. I offered to let them get it themselves since it was unsafe to put my hands down in front of two obvious fucking retards, yeah I said that. I also requested they contact the academy supervisor by name, which only made them more deranged.
When all was said and done, officer #1 apologized and said, "I saw you had a radio and thought you needed help." He admitted he was going to kill me to "help me". Perfect. I moved on a couple of years later and my replacement was a decent black guy who had worked for me for several years.
He had a similar incident. While working one night he called in a copper thief prowling the property. Same department responded, he was talking to 911, directing them in and offered to meet them at the gate. The responding psychos held him at gun point, in fucking work clothes, wearing a logo hardhat and shirt, carrying a flashlight and cell phone. They nearly killed the first person they saw for no apparent reason, while the dispatcher is screaming at them to stop trying to kill the guy who called.
For decades we had a great relationship with the training facility and our guys liked seeing them around and helping out with training. They are now banned from coming on the property and most people are not willing to call them for fear of being murdered by cops, especially after hours. That business uses private security patrols now.
Let's beat this to death.
Rancher's bull gets loose and gets hit by truck. 911 calls him to come dispatch his animal. Wacko cops murder him for shooting his own fucking injured bull.
The injured bull began charging emergency responders as they worked to get the driver and passenger out of the car
