At best, I can imagine that it was a swat team raid where they kicked the door down and the officers had already been alerted that the suspect may have a gun. However, I don't see any of that in the story so.... This is pretty bad...
Also, this is why I would never EVER buy a gun for self defense. You are WAY more likely to shoot an innocent than you are to shoot a criminal.
Worse yet, I can imagine myself making this exact same mistake. Im somewhat absent minded, so I am terrified of this kind of situation.
