When Beesley turns around, Troyke raises his gun and fires at him as two people stand nearby, according to police. 3 Officer Gordon Beesley Credit: AP  Video also shows Troyke grabbing an AR-15 rifle from his truck. He was carrying it when Good Samaritan John Hurley confronts him and fatally shoots him with a handgun. Hurley fired up to six shots, causing him to fall against a parked car, according to a witness. Tragically, Hurley was killed by another officer who saw him holding Troyke's AR-15. 3 John Hurley Credit: Facebook  Hurley's shooting of Troyke and the officer's shooting of Hurley are not seen on the police video.
