Nope. Apparently they thought that “welfare check” protocols are the same as “no knock raid against drug dealers.”
I have to wonder how it was relayed from the initial call to the police responding. Did they get the call as a welfare check or possible prowler or break-in or what? I mean I know the neighbor who called the police said he wanted them to check into it because her front door had been open for hours, but did that get relayed to the police responding? If it had been a break-in, the fact that the door had been open for hours would be a clue that the perp(s) had probably left long ago.
I feel sorry for the man who made the call. He thought he was doing the right thing. Now he must feel that if he’d minded his own business, she’d still be alive.
