14. Seriously! they should not have brought the gun to the door

From the linked report:
"After no one answered their knocks on the door, police officers asked the dispatch to call the person who reported the incident and ask them to come to the front door.
At some point, Dotson opened the door of his home while armed with a handgun and at least one officer shot at least one round from their gun, striking and killing Dotson at the scene, according to state police citing body camera footage."

So did they get a phone call?
Did they know it was police at the door?
If they did know, why were both armed at the door?

It could well be that they were aroused from sleep, grabbed guns for defense and failed.
It is certain that they had guns and that one fact was all the cop needed to kill.

So, yes, seriously their gun possession killed them. And the gun-possession was useless.
