Nightmare scenario: Cops go to wrong home, homeowner shoots one

Homeowner somehow is not killed.
Cops coming through unlocked back door. I think alot about this scenario... if noone dies it's pretty damn lucky.

I'm willing to bet that the moron that phoned in the suspected robbery didn't give a (correct) house number.

According to the article he didn't give a house number. Just a description of the house.

It was probably a setup to get the neighbor's dog killed so it would stop barking at night.

They said, the back door was unlocked meaning there must be a burglar.

Of course, they got the dog.

The homeowner was also shot in the leg and his dog was killed in what DeKalb County police Chief Cedric Alexander is calling a complicated shooting. Officers fired their weapons, the chief said, but it's not clear if the homeowner had a gun.
quote:
Alexander said the situation happened like this: A neighborhood resident called 911 at 7:34 p.m. to report a suspicious person and described a home to the dispatcher. Three officers responded to a house that fit the description the caller gave 911. The officers went to the back of the home and found that a screen door and a rear door were unlocked.
"That in and of itself would probably suggest to anyone that it is possible that there could be intruders inside, but it turned out not to be the case," Alexander said. "Somewhere at the rear of that home, some things happened that have yet to be determined."
The officers had just entered the home when the gunfire erupted.
"There was gunfire, I just cannot tell you who fired and who did not," he said.
Am I missing something or does it sound like the cop may have actually been shot by one of the other cops?
If I'm reading this right it sounds like they went to the wrong house, went into the back yard, found an unlocked back door, and used that to enter. Upon entering the house, they encountered the family dog. The dog seeing intruders does what even a yappy little chihuahua would do and starts barking and possibly even attacks (which cops will claim regardless). The cops then start shooting at the dog and in the process one of them is hit with friendly fire.
Oh, and the reason the door was unlocked was probably b/c the owner was either about to or had very recently let the dog out to pee.

Unlocked doors are trashy

Link doesn't work for me and don't understand who writes these articles..it's a mess.
Sometimes I wish Morgan Freeman would show up and explain things.

i always hypothesize this story
SWAT unit breaks into the wrong house of a guy with extensive firearms training and shoots his wife or something and he murders all of them without realizing who they are

"Derek Perez told The Associated Press that he reported the suspicious person. He said he was walking his dog when he saw a man knock on a neighbor's door and then just stand in the yard. He said he then heard a loud noise, a dog barking and didn't see the man anymore. There had been break-ins in the neighborhood recently, so he called 911, he said."
sounds reasonable to barge in with guns blazin'

So is it the lack of training, lack of professionalism, lack of supervision, etc. that leads to events like this? Or is there something like "the fog of war" that envelopes the cops and creates these scenarios repeatedly?

So the criticism is becoming why did they enter the house at all.
So if the officers are called to house for a possible burglary suspect and they find a door unlocked, they should just leave it alone?
What happens if there is an actual burglary suspect in the house?
this is setting the stage for someone to just prank call that a burglar just went into a house and when the police show up to check the house for someone in it, the homeowner is gonna shot and it's gonna be seen as "officers came to the wrong house"

So an unlocked door suggests an intruder is inside?!? These morons need to rehearse what they're going to say on camera to someone with half a brain so that person could say ummm chief that makes no sense whatsoever and will make police look even worse.

So, you think this was actually approached correctly?
