Minn. man shoots at cops after SWAT team kicks down wrong door
From blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/12/minn-man-shoots.html :
A Minneapolis police SWAT team kicked in the wrong door yesterday during an early morning raid, prompting the man of the house to grab his gun and open fire on the officers who entered the house.
"He took out his shotgun and he said if they are bad guys I'll shoot, I'll scare them away," Dao Khang, the brother of the homeowner, Vang Khang, tells the Star Tribune. "He fired first, he told me it was two shots."
...
Police haven't decided whether they'll try to charge Khang with a crime. KMSP-TV says the Khang family is consulting with a civil attorney.

What are you gonna do? Someone busts in your house, they are all dressed in black with guns drawn. You have got to defend your wife and kids in the next room.

Re: Minn. man shoots at cops after SWAT team kicks down wrong door
I can't tell for sure but I imagine the warrant was for that property but it was just bad information. They state in the article that it was trickled down. I don't know but that seems the most plausible.
If the warrant was for that address (though wrong) I still think he's in the right to open fire. I've said it many times before but if you come through my door without an invitation or an announced warrant, I will defend myself and encourage and support any other citizen that defends themselves under the same circumstances.

Re: Minn. man shoots at cops after SWAT team kicks down wrong door
When a "no knock" warrant is utilized, entry is made without announcemnt....BUT when the entry team begins searching to secure suspects...the "police-search warrant" announcement is continuously made. I have no idea the true circumstances of this situation based on a news report, but I'd hazard an educated guess that the language barrier played a role.
Just my 2cents.
