A bystander who intervened in the shooting of a police officer in Colorado on Monday by shooting the gunman was himself fatally shot by a responding police officer, the authorities said on Friday.

The police department in Arvada, Colo., just outside Denver, shared a timeline on Friday that outlined what the police chief, Link Strate, described as a tragic sequence of events that resulted in the deaths of a good Samaritan and a police officer.

The police said they responded to a call of a suspicious person at Arvada’s Olde Town, a downtown district with shops, restaurants and bars, at 1:31 p.m. local time on Monday.

A teenager had reported that an older man had walked up to him, “made a weird noise, and showed them a condom,” Chief Strate said in a video.

Officer Gordon Beesley encountered the man, identified by the authorities as Ronald Troyke, 59, who had a shotgun. The police said Mr. Troyke ran after Officer Beesley and shot him twice, adding that Officer Beesley did not reach for his gun or have time to defend himself.

Officer Beesley was “brutally ambushed and murdered by someone who expressed hatred for police officers,” Chief Strate said, adding, “What happened next is equally tragic.”

 Mr. Troyke returned to his truck to retrieve an AR-15, the police said. He then returned to the square, where he was confronted by the bystander, Johnny Hurley, 40, who shot him with a handgun, according to the police. “Almost immediately after” Mr. Hurley shot Mr. Troyke, a responding officer encountered Mr. Hurley, who was now holding the AR-15, and shot him, Chief Strate said.
