After mortally wounding his former girlfriend and then confessing that he had caused the deaths of two of his children, the 29-year-old son of a Chester City patrolman was shot and killed by police, Delaware County authorities said yesterday.

Aaron Michael of Chester was killed shortly after midnight outside the house he shared with his father, Officer John Michael, who was away on vacation.

The shooting was the culmination of a deadly series of events that began about 11:30 p.m. Monday, when Aaron Michael confronted Andrea Arrington in Ridley Township. Arrington, the mother of Michael’s 2-year-old son, Aaron Jr., had come home from work and was walking on Constitution Avenue to pick up her son from a babysitter.

The two began arguing about a protection-from-abuse order that Arrington, 23, had filed July 2. In the order, Arrington alleged that Michael had pushed, slapped, choked, and kicked her in June. Michael was arrested last week for violating that order.

Michael pulled out a gun and shot Arrington, who fell to the ground, said Detective Sgt. Scott Willoughby of the Ridley Township police. Michael then stood over her and continued firing. Arrington was hit about 11 times, Willoughby said.

    the POLICE are going crazy this month. All you women who love men in uniform better rethink that stance.

    It’s not the police going crazy. they should have killed this negro. I am so tired of us accepting black on black violence. He had no reason to kill that sister just b/c she didn’t want to be with his sorry azz anymore.Obviously she was right in gettin a protection order but it still couldn’t save her from this damn animal. All brothers that beat on our women or kill them derserve to be dead themselves. We don’t need their sorry asses in the black community anymore. I am so fuc-king pissed and I don’t even know her. I just know she is a sister that didn’t deserve to die.

    and what kind of man calls himself “dark chocolate”…

    Right. Black on black violence is overrated.

    Most people are victimized by people they know. So black on black. White on white. Rican on rican. Asian on asian violence is only natural.

    See this is the problem, that babysitter could have been a crackhead boyfriend this woman is having around their child…You stupid men and women need to stop looking at this Male-Valeur bulls**t, because we are just about in an equal society,where we all have rights..no it is not right for him to kill her, but I just know what has happpened in this situation, it happened to me…YOU ALL NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LAY UP WITH AND GET KIDDS BY…THESE ARE SOME VERY DANGEROUS TIMES, THE SYSTEM WILL MAKE YOU A DEADBEAT DAD, and I agree with Shakka, DRKChocolate, you can take your
    Sweet ass to hell or the over, whichever is closer, This is a sad story, because we have lost 3 Beautiful Black lives. By Societies stereotypes and hatred of us….It is just sad =+(((

    tell u bout them demons…

    It’s crazy how, you hear about these stories… and you say “that’s a shame” and “wow… I can’t believe that happened” when you don’t know the people… But to know the people who are going through, have been going through, and are ultimately gone from us because of this type of thing—- brings it way too close to home.

    This is an example of many things: The times we’re living in (over all), The faulty judicial system, and how domestic abuse needs to end.

    We have to stop looking the other way, and “minding our business.” — We have to stop making excuses for this type of behavior, because too many times… we end up with stories like this one.

    I won’t speak too deeply, out of respect for both families, and I’ve been keeping them all in prayer.

    But this should put into perspective ALL of the things we as a community should change… We need to DEMAND more protection than a damn piece of paper when someone is abusing or stalking us, we should make it an UNACCEPTABLE behavior to bark at, belittle, or lay harmful hands on our women…

    RIP to both Aaron, Andrea, and the children… To the rest of us still here- God has a specific reason for EVERYTHING… let’s take from this all the lessons learned- apparent or under the surface.

    This woman went through all the right channels, she broke up with him, kept her son with a babysitter, reported him to the police, obtained a protection order. Just to show you how ruined our system is. This womans life could have been saved if this man was in jail or therapy to sort out his demons. My prayers go out to both the families for having lost a mother, daughter, sister, neice, father, son, brother, nephew.

    THIS IS WHY I DON’T WATCH THE NEWS. ITS S**T LIKE THIS THAT MAKES ME VERY ANGRY. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. IF U FEEL U NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO SOMEONE, DO IT TO URSELF. HE SHOULD’VE BEEN KILLED FOR THAT S**T. NO ONE DESERVES TO LIVE AFTER TAKING SOMEONE’S LIFE IF IT WASN’T SELF-DEFENSE. THIS IS JUS CRAZY.

    suicide by cop…. this entire story is depressing. The baby growing up with both his parents, the 2 dead kids… the dead mom killed in the street…. and the cop that killed him… this is sad all around!

    I wanna say…I knew Aaron personally. By being around him, youd never know he had mental issues. He was one of the funniest dudes you kould meet. Like we’d be in the studio not gettin shyt done kause he was busy krackin jokes. As far as the deaths of his children…they were years ago. 1 was ruled sids and the other accidental. Obviously Aaron had some underlying mental issues and it really f*cked me up to hear about it. Wen I saw it on the news I jumped outta my seat and not too long after that a few of my friends began kallin me askin if i saw wat happened. nobody kould believe it! But i wanna say….the Aaron Michaels I knew never did the things that I heard he did on tv. and im goin to remeber him for the krazy as hell, hilarious, bulls**ttin, no gettin work done dude that i met about a year ago. He helped me in my musik venture and was instrumental in me workin with up and komin artist. So R.I.P. sir….and my prayers goes out to the both the families of Andrea Arrington and Aaron. And I also wanna keep in prayer the friends that were klose to him…because like i said…this totally blindsided all of us!

    Know the child/ex-girlfriend murderers family. Scared to death to write a comment but just know that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Normally police officers stick together. Has anyone read or seen on television one single comment about the father being a great cop or a great human being? Murderer had to learn his behavior somewhere. And not just the streets. Guess where?

    When a woman takes out a restraining order, she needs to move her children (and herself)out of town to a safe place. It may be a good idea to buy a gun and mace, Violence against women and children is rampant, especially once she leaves the home. There are shelters that will help women go underground.
