Denver police shot and killed Mac McPherson, 22, on South Colorado Boulevard on September 15, 2020, after responding around 10:30 p.m. to a report of a man with a gun. Officers provided first aid, and McPherson was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:22 p.m. The medical examiner determined that he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

District Attorney Beth McCann said McPherson appeared intoxicated and had what looked like a gun protruding from his waistband. According to her account, officers ordered him to the ground, and he said he had a gun before reaching into his right front pocket and pulling out a black handgun. Officers then fired several shots. Body-camera footage shows officers giving him aid on the ground. On January 19, 2021, McCann announced that the officers' use of deadly force was legally justified and that no charges would be filed.

This may be the first time I have seen a fatally shot subject put his hands up in response to police orders, following the shooting.

I did lol when he said "I love you!" Didn't expect to hear that. His drunkenness resulted in a most unfortunate non-compliance. Don't drink and non-comply folks.
