North Aurora officer shoots, kills man police say had gun, behaved 'erratically'
A North Aurora police officer shot and killed a 51-year-old man Tuesday night.
Police identified the man as James R. Wiesner.
They said Wiesner's fiance called police at 9:27 p.m., saying Wiesner was behaving "erratically."
When three police officers arrived, they heard people inside, but nobody answered the door. The fiance then drove up and let them in through the garage, according to a news release.
Inside the house, Wiesner pointed a handgun at officers. The officers went outside to the front yard, and Wiesner followed, as the officers tried to take cover, according to the news release.
They said he did not obey orders to drop the gun. One of the officers, who has not been identified, shot him in the upper part of his body.
Wiesner was pronounced dead at the scene.
All three officers have been put on administrative leave while the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force's Officer-Involved Death Unit investigates the shooting.
