Looks like the armed resident was shot by responding LEO...

Your thoughts on how this could be prevented by both the home's residents AND responding LEO?

IF (key word) If you have some composure make sure on the 911 call to I.D yourself.

IF threat is neutralized, place weapon on ground, away from you / reach. This shows (Hopefully) you're not the threat and are complying with commands of on scene LE

My thought is that if you have a home invader and you shoot them, put on some body armor if you have the chance. There might be more invaders coming. Also, contact the 911 dispatcher and tell them what you are wearing and to inform the officers attending the scene. The body armor will give you a better chance of surviving, no matter who shoots at you. This is just my opinion.

If you had time to put on body armor after the first engagement, you're clearly not placed in a life threatening scenario. Had you the time to don armor, you had time to FLIGHT/ escape, move to a more secure area.
