Police identify man killed at Duke Hospital

Aaron Lorenzo Dorsey, 25, of Durham, died Saturday.

Duke Police officers Larry Carter and Jeffrey Liberto were responding to a report of a suspicious person in front of the hospital when the incident occurred. Dorsey attacked the officers and tried to gain control of one of the officer’s guns, Duke University Police Chief John Dailey said Wednesday.

Both officers have been placed on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of a review of the incident by the State Bureau of Investigation. Such moves are standard procedure in officer-involved shootings.

Police hope to finish an internal investigative report by the end of the week, and university officials said they might release more information then.

The incident didn't affect patient care at the hospital, officials said.
