He told deputies he saw someone he believed was holding a weapon. I do residential deliveries (returning lost airline luggage) and sometimes work the overnight shift. After 10 p.m. I always call before I go to the door. It is not a safe thing to be at someone's door unannounced at 12:30 a.m.

Something I haven't seen mentioned on this thread is that the homeowner was almost certainly disoriented, having been suddenly awoken. I know that that sort of sudden-wake-up wth adrenalin, fear, etc, can seriously impair normal judgement and reasoning.
It is quite different than being wide awake when the banging starts.
