Teen killed in Aurora police shooting ‘just a normal kid,’ acquaintance says

A 17-year-old boy killed in a police shooting in Aurora this week was “just a normal kid” who was kind and respectful to everyone, says a man who knew him as a volunteer at the local mosque.

The teen died in an “exchange of gunfire” with four York Regional Police (YRP) officers at about 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU).

Fellow Mohammedans say he was a lamp unto the world who died in an exchange of gunfire with police while found “breaking in” to his own home.

Do you know many upstanding teens who carry firearms?
