Philly SWAT officer shot in face, bad guy and unk woman shot, weapons warrant

[Daycrawler]

Grandson turned himself in yesterday.

I saw that today. While he may be a criminal, at least he did the right thing.

Why exactly did they shoot the woman running out the back door?

From what I have seen that is unknown. Since the husband told his wife to run because he thought it as a burglary, she may have had a weapon, or failed to follow commands in her panic to flee. NO I dont think, just refusal to follow commands is a reason to shoot someone. The totality of the circumstances must be taken into account. However we may nevr know the complete story.

The grandson will have his day in court. The grandmother will get a large settlement in this case, however it will never bring her husband back.

according to the police, the female was hit with a ricochet from a shotgun.

Why exactly did they shoot the woman running out the back door?

May have been nothing more than she caught a round fired in the initial volley. May have been her bursting through the back door after the initial volley and the guy on the back door shot her.

A coupla days ago there was a case where officers wound up having to shoot through a locked screen security door and into a house because a pitbull was mauling a child.They couldnt get the door open in order to save the child so they did what they felt they had to do.Dangerous action taken but the child's life depended on it.

They were able to identify their target at least.

I wasn't there, but I read there is a neutral witness who stated the police announced their presence at least three times before forcibly entering.

So if you knock, announce and wait for the occupants to come out, what do you do when no one responds or comes out? Seems to me, up to that point it doesn't take a lot of balls.

Then you hit the joint!
P.S. I liked it better when it was Stakeout.
