Even if he had a gun,which is possible in this situation when answering the door and the person is not identifying themselves,there is the possibility that this was a rookie officer who was already nervous serving a warrant and freaked out,even if it wasn't a firearm he was holding.I'm not making any judgement call here,but I would like to say that Police forces should consider getting more military people that have been trained better,ROE were very clear and I think we could identify true threats much better and respond with the right actions,not trigger happy or easily freaked out.It seems like it has become to easy for an officer to say I feared for my life and opened fire without assessing the situation properly or even retreating to a safe location first,I know it's not always that easy,you don't want a real threat to get an easy shot,but that's why you wear your vest and use tactics to your advantage,not blasting people with an excuse of fear and getting away with it!
