BROOMFIELD — Two Broomfield police officers won’t be prosecuted in the June shooting death of Kyle Miller after investigators concluded they were justified in using deadly force against the 21-year-old after he pointed an Airsoft pellet gun at them.
The report, released Thursday by the 17th Judicial District Critical Incident Team, reveals for the first time that Miller fired his pellet gun at one of the officers, although it is unclear whether Miller shot first or simultaneously with police.
The 16-page report also paints Miller, who struggled with schizoaffective bipolar disorder for much of his life, as depressed and possibly suicidal on the morning of June 28, when he ran out of his home in the Aspen Creek neighborhood, armed with the pellet gun and a knife.
Miller’s mother, Cheryl Miller, told investigators her son had talked about wanting to be shot by police.
