An Aurora police officer allegedly shot a 22-year-old man in the back through a window in the man’s home Oct. 10, an attorney familiar with the matter told The Sentinel Tuesday.

“It’s crazy,” said Denver criminal defense attorney Birk Baumgartner.”They shot him through a window in the back.”

Baumgartner said officers did not announce they were outside the house of Andy Huff, 22, in the city’s Side Creek neighborhood nor identify themselves as police officers prior to the shooting last Thursday. He said one officer opened fire, shooting five times into the house and striking Huff in the buttocks.
