This is the down side to cops' well known penchant for escalating searches to the most extreme entry possible. Had the cops walked up to the door and knocked the homoeowner wouldn't have shot. I know there are situations that call for true no-knock entries and full swat teams, but those are few and far between. It sounds like this guy didn't even get charged with anything else. Maybe they had the wrong house. Remember the 80 year old grandmother who killed a cop a year or so ago? I think she was not charged.
