Gun nut: everyone should have a gun at home for self-protection!

Same gun nut after black serviceman is killed attempting to defend himself from a break and enter: He was waving a gun at a police officer! He deserved it!

They were called about a disturbance. The airman was on a video chat, which presumably was at a normal sound level and didn't sound like a "disturbance." He asked twice who was there and they didn't answer, then they weren't showing through the peephole. A lot of oddness there, assuming the woman is telling the truth about what he said and she heard.

The article says the officers went to the wrong address.

How many times does this "wrong address" excuse get to be used as a defense?

Where they didn't hear or see a disturbance.

That was the conclusion that the woman on the chat reached, but there wasn't (in the article) any confirmation from the police. There are other possibilities, such as swatting.

My brother-in-law has been swatted at least twice since the start of the pandemic. Fortunately the police were on top of things, and were very apologetic just for knocking on the door and disturbing him.

Did the police have a warrant to enter that house? The world wonders.

They were called by property managment for a disturbance. The person (lady) did show him "a" apartment by "number", but did not even know if it was the correct one.

It doesn't look like the officer ever entered the apt at all, just shot him when he opened the door.

Just a note: very early after knocking on the door and saying it was the police he did step to the side, he would not have been visible if the guy looked thru the eyehole. I wonder if he should not have contacted dispatch for confirmation of the kind of incident after he did not hear anything himself.

Update May 7th, 2024:
Statement from Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden on Fatal Officer Involved Shooting
All of us at the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office are saddened about the fatal officer involved shooting over the weekend.
Late Friday afternoon, our deputy responded to a call of a disturbance in progress where he encountered an armed man. The deputy shot the man, who later succumbed to his injuries.
I immediately placed the deputy on administrative leave and have asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to conduct the investigation that is required in such incidents.
The State Attorney’s Office will also conduct an independent review.
At this time, we humbly ask for our community’s patience as we work to understand the facts that resulted in this tragic event.

Is the stepping to the side after knocking to avoid being shot through the door?

Doesn’t excuse what happens next..
