Former US marshal turned private investigator Barry Golden said the installation of doorbell cameras and surveillance on people's homes had reduced the FBI's element of surprise in recent years.

'More people these days have cameras outside their home, so chances are that the element of surprise might be out the window, if someone is sitting there watching or getting a text alert,' Golden said.

Retired FBI agent Richard Kolko told CBS Miami that something obviously went 'awfully wrong'.

'Getting that many agents caught up in the line of fire – something really went wrong and they're going to break that all down,' Kolko said.

He said the planning phase of executing a search warrant is meticulous.

Law enforcement officials have said that FBI agents are trained to set up a perimeter and often wait for suspects to emerge.

They said that entering an apartment now is often just for hostage situations given the dangers.

Alex Piquero, a University of Miami sociology professor who has specialized in criminology, said serving search warrants at a person's home is incredibly hazardous for law enforcement officers.

'Serving warrants, next to domestic dispute calls and high speed chases, are among the most dangerous for law enforcement - they don't know what awaits them on the inside,' Piquero said.

Tragic situation, but it sure seems someone screwed up.
