The Pima County Sheriff’s Department will release no more information about the circumstances surrounding the killing of Jose Guerena during the serving of a search warrant by the department’s SWAT officers May 5 at his home.
Two weeks after the shooting the department has yet to disclose exactly what they were searching for in the Guerena home ...
...
On May 5, five members of the SWAT team fired 71 shots at Guerena while serving a search warrant at the 7100 block of South Redwater Drive. He was shot 60 times.
The 26-year-old former Marine was sleeping at about 9:30 a.m. after working the graveyard shift at Asarco’s Mission Mine when his wife woke him saying she heard noises outside and saw a man was at their window.

If you elect statices you will be ruled by them. Pretty simple proposition.
Waterboard Dupnik.
At the very least Dupnik needs to go. From the last fiasco in Tucson he has no business being Sheriff.
If they break into my house I may go down in a hail of bullets but you can bet I won't be the only one.
From what we learned about him during the earlier business, Dupnik has been elected and re-elected Sheriff in Tucson almost forever. So his liberal ways must be popular among the voters there.
I wonder if this latest business may change a few minds. I certainly hope so. This guy is far too politicized to be trusted as a Sheriff.
I’m kind of surprised he didn’t blame this fiasco on Sarah Palin, too.
There's absolutely no doubt the Warrant and all Affidavits supporting the Warrant will be subject to any discovery in any court proceedings associated with this incident.
I ask all Freepers: If it's discovered that anything was falsified (and nothing has been established), should those who falsified be charged and tried for First Degree Murder?
Should those who approved any such documents without due verification be charged with Criminal Negligence?
I say yes to both.
I understand the widow has hired a high-profiled attorney. Good for her. I hope she received tens of millions for this murder.
Dupnik seems to have a magnet on his shoe and another one in his mouth. His lawyer prolly told him clam up before he puts his entire municipality in hock.
Jose Guerena, 26, former Marine
Here is the man's grieving wife, Vanessa Guerena. Also he has two sons, ages 4 and 5.
The local paper stalled the story as long as they could— 9 days — but this is probably the last term as Sheriff for Dupnik. His paranoid rants after the shootings (Tucson) were damaging to every segment of the city and county and he wasn’t expected to be re-elected. I think the raid was a Dupnik’s bin Laden stroke without the desired outcome. I can’t remember the last Pima County SWAT raid.
It would seem yet another “Good American” has been sacrificed on the altar of “political expediency/korrectness” in the American southwest...... >PS
I would imagine a couple of those officers are feeling pangs of Conscience.
They murdered this man.
“If they break into my house I may go down in a hail of bullets but you can bet I won’t be the only one.”
The Patriots at the old North Bridge at Concord in 1775 had no idea that what happened would ignite a revolutionary war.
Both sides, the Brits and the Americans, had no intention on firing at each other. But it happened.
I appreciate your passion, but we should at least muster a squad. A platoon would be better and a company of riflemen would be best.
So before you sacrifice yourself to God and eternity, let’s at least tally up and find which squad leader you need to report to. You can kill more Tories that way.
Semper fi.
This is a old link I got off FR a long time ago, but it is a study of the results of “no Knock” police raids. It still sends chills up my spine.
Well, look at it this way. A group of armed to the teeth professionals (?) attacks a private residence, kicks the door in and then shoots the owher who is minding his own business inside.
Note that it is perfectly legal (safe or not is a different story) for any owner of a rifle to work on it, clean it, hug it, or do whatever he wants with it within his own residence (or, actually, in many other places that are considered private property, like your campground.) The guy, for all intents and purposes, could have set up a tripod and had a loaded rifle aimed at the entry door. Legal. Safe? That's another question; but it is legal, AFAIK.
So when a group of invaders breaks the door down and sees the setup and the owner, what right do they have to kill him? We don't even need to go into the self-defense area. The homeowner is allowed to handle firearms inside his house, and if you break in while he is doing it ... too bad, you should have used the doorbell. That's one of 217 reasons why people should be secure in their homes - to let them do things there that wouldn't be quite proper to do among general public.
So yes, the attackers are probably somewhat sad about what happened. They acted as burglars with murder in mind; as clumsy ones too, if earlier reports are correct - the front LEO had a negligent discharge (itchy trigger finger?) and the rest of them opened up blindly, without identifying the threat.
PCSO said accidental discharge of weapon occured at front door. Media video showed the door with a half dozen holes at odd angles exiting the door. Victim was left to bleed out for over an hour with EMS denied entry by SWAT.
Can’t side with PCSO on this one, They blew it. It also plays right into the hands of the TUSD’s La Raza studies gang. They can and will blame it on the racist gringo culture and twist everything to fit that angle.
If it was murder (we don't know that yet) then the perps should fry and all complicit should pay some enormous penalty...PERSONALLY.
We have to break the cycle of Sovereign Immunity.
