The article is poorly written, and even I got confused.
But I don't think it was the "wrong house". It appears that they were going into the right house when "Mr. Helper" Larry decided to become involved..

Your're confused alright, but it goes well beyond the construction of the article.
Obviously we won't all crawl under our beds hiding in fear when we hear strange noises outside our homes...and Larry was one of us.
I would imagine that a person being awakened from a sound sleep by a flash-bang grenade would run outside to see if his house had just been hit or if he was under some threat; upon seeing figures in dark clothing milling about, it isn't unreasonable for him to challenge them.
