The stepson of the man shot and killed early Monday morning by Aurora police says there were just seconds between when his stepfather shot the man who’d broken into their home and assaulted his son and when police shot his stepfather dead.

Chad Hayashi told ABC News in an exclusive interview on Wednesday that he awoke to find a woman standing in his bedroom doorway.

“And she starts saying to me, ‘My son is on drugs and he has your baby,’” Hayashi said.

He’d never seen the woman before. And as he looked over her shoulder, he says he saw another man in the house and the bathroom lights on.

“I immediately just shot into the bathroom to find this naked guy soaking wet … choking my son, biting his left ear,” Hayashi said.

His stepfather, Richard “Gary” Black, Jr., shot the intruder during the struggle but was shot by police shortly afterwards after exiting the bathroom.
