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

SO you can have as many people yelling to the cops, who's who even pointing out the good vs bad guy. Unfortunately tunnel vision and that 1-2-3 LE's interpretation of what's happening at that moment. Can and will effect everyone involved for the rest of their lives.

Agreed. Sometimes shit happens. That's why I also agree with the decision not to discipline/charge the officer. This specific situation is simply tragic in every way. It went the way it went, there is no one to blame. Sucks, but that's the world sometimes. As my Dad always told me "Life's a bitch...and then you die".

That said, it's still valid to discuss these things because everyone can learn something from every situation.

PS - this home owner saved a life that night. That's a win in my book and I'm willing to bet that was his only concern at that moment. His family should be proud.
