Officers kill homeowner after responding to wrong address

[Kaleva]

107. There really is no glee in avoidable tragedies like this one

I don't know all that went on between the police and the homeowner and the video (s) won't be released for about a week or more so I'm refraining from expressing an opinion on that at this time.

We do know the police went to the wrong address and I'm very sure that the homeowner lacked training or had ignored it.. Had the police not screwed up and had gone to the correct address and had the homeowner had the proper training, this wouldn't have happened .

My view is that considering how dangerous guns are, those have one or who plan to get one should know that extensive training goes with that. Or at least it should as many states are removing training requirements for concealed carry and I don't know of any state that requires such for having a gun restricted to home defense only .

What bothers me the most are gun owners who don't secure their guns and a child finds it and either accidently kills himself or a sibling or a friend. I'm s member of the Michigan chapter of Moms Demand Action and we work to raise awareness on the need for proper gun storage .
