"It's just a bizarre set of circumstances. The bottom line is, you point a gun at a deputy sheriff or police office, you're going to get shot," Herrell said.
No, the bottom line is the officers not identifying themselves. They were there to arrest a murder suspect? If that's the case I thought SOP dictates they make an announcement first
Prediction - the officer(s) in question will get paid administrative leave, and will be found to have operated inside the bounds of his duty by the "investigation" that the police force does.
Indiana passed a new law that says citizens can shoot LE if they enter their house unlawfully. Of course they didn't enter the house but they did knock on the wrong door and should be held accountable.

Sad thing is this kind of stuff happens all the time, like literally on a weekly basis. If you read actual news and not watered down nonsense they show on tv.
Why open the door? If you have a gun in your hand and open the door it is not going to turn out good. He should have demanded to know who was at his door, before he decided to open it. Tragic for both sides.
Put yourself in the officers shoes. Regardless if they made it known if they were police or not, they are looking for a dangerous suspect and the door flies open and they see a gun pointed at them. What would you do? Probably never know the whole story anyways.
To many thug cops shoot now ask questions after. Cops watch to much tv want to be movie star FBI bust peoples door down with a AR15's. Seen this year in the news cop went to the wrong house and shot a family dog. Now the shoot a person. Stuff has to stop.Lets charge the dumb a$$ who gave the wrong address. Clyde ohio cops busted down the door of a passed out drunk man with a gun and killed him what happened to serve and protect? More like shoot to kill anyone who has a gun. These jerk drug task force, small town swat teams get more people hurt or killed than they do good. They give the good cops a bad name. If you think you found where a murder lives do some home work and stop killing people.
