A 92-year-old woman was shot to death Tuesday after she fired at three narcotics officers trying to serve a warrant at her house, officials said...This story bears further watching. If they were plainclothes, meaning blending in with the people they investigate, it's easy to see how she could assume they were bad guys trying to break in.

Early in the article, they mention that the officers were "approaching" the house.
The niece said: "My aunt was in good health. I'm sure she panicked when they kicked that door down,"
The article is pretty light on the facts, but it sounds like the "only ones" served a no knock warrant on the wrong address. Instead they attacked a 92 yo woman who attempted to protect herself. She did get a hit on each of the officers
Yeah, plain cloths leading an armed assault on a person's castle is Neg. Homicide.
If these murders couldn't forsee that someone would defend themselves from armed criminal busting down their doors, dressed as street thugs, yelling police don't fucking move or we will blow your head off. Yeah, I'm gonna listen to them too.
Listen folks, this BS could have happen to anyone of us tonight, (or more likely very, very early tomorrow morning), because some drugged out banger wants to be a snitch to reduce his petty drug possession charges.
Some police even work with these "informants", whereas witnesses are eliminated and drugs are ALWAYS found/planted. When an ounce of weed is found, society still feels it is ok to kill them, (just don't stompt on anyone's dog).
Reminds me of the story where the cops came back later and broke into the wrong house, again.
The facts are indeed light on facts, but what were the rulings on the only ones who flash banged the wrong house/apartment and a man had a heart attack? I'll give a tip on their defense, "ve vere just folloving orders" doesn't work.
Let this teach her niece that shot placement counts, as does the correct caliber.
The ATFU spends 8 months sniffing up H"W" Fincher's butt even thought he SENT THEM and posted openly his intentions, but do they even bother to surveil in cases like this? Anyone want to bet? If this crap isn't the damn OK corral crap the antis spew then I don't know what is.

Oh, how right you are David.
This just in from the local TV station:
Chief Richard Pennington wrapped up a surprise press conference around 5:20 p.m. Monday telling us his entire narcotics unit is on administrative leave – that means seven officers and one sergeant are on leave after the police shootout that left Kathryn Johnston dead.
Now, Chief Pennington confirmed there are questions as to whether there was ever a drug buy at Kathryn Johnston’s home – the informant told the Internal Affairs Unit he was told to lie.
Informant Says He Was Asked To Lie
Read it all, including the part that says the raid was (supposedly) based on the purchase of a whopping $50 worth of crack.
