Details from media and non media sources trickling in. Appears that as the task force was approaching the residence, they were fired upon before attempting the knock.
The details after a still fuzzy. But at this point, the narrative is the main suspect was dead on the lawn and when LE attempted to approach the house after, they were fired upon again from inside. Which turned things into a several hour stand off. Reports are they used an armored vehicle to breech house later.
Seems they are unsure if the woman and/or juvenile in the house were shooting in the second wave, or if there were subject/s that might have escaped. Though since there is no safety warning to everyone in the area, it likely means they don't feel like anyone fled and it was one or both of the two occupants found inside.
The takeaways so far would be discussions on:
- What, if any felons should lose their 2nd amendment rights. Obviously not something that will be fixed anytime soon
- Utilizing dedicated "assault" (not a good word for domestic LE, but whatever) teams in conjunction with non daytime no knock warrants *properly*.
There needs to be more standards that are utilized the same at all departments/agencies when it comes to any type of high risk warrants. They need to be properly vetted as high risk. They need to be triple checked or more for the correct addresses and such. And they need to be undertaken via properly trained and dedicated teams for making entry into these types of situations. Using regular LE and/or Task Force Officers isn't a good way to go about high risk situations.
This is complete arm chair QB on my part at the moment, but it seems like they attempted a middle of the day, normal warrant, with regular LE.......on a subject that should have been high risk, and likely a different type of warrant performed (this is excluding the conversation of if a felon should lose the 2a rights, as there's nothing that can be done about that at the very moment).
