A U.S. Marine who was killed when he was gunned down in his home near Tucson, Arizona, never fired on the SWAT team that stormed his house firing 70 times in a hail of bullets, a report has revealed.
The revelation came as dramatic footage of the shooting was released, showing the armed team pounding down the door of Jose Guerena's home and opening fire.
The father-of-two, who had served twice in Iraq, died on May 5 after the SWAT team descended on his home believing it was one of four houses associated with a drug smuggling operation.

Agreed. the SWAT team that let this brave man die, after protecting his family, should be hanged.
“When she encountered the SWAT team, ‘the only thing I told them was take care of him, take him to a hospital,’ Ms Guerena told ABC.
An ambulance reportedly arrived in a few minutes, but medical personnel were not allowed inside to see Mr Guerena for an hour and 14 minutes, the family’s attorney, Chris Scileppi, told ABC News affiliate KGUN.
In contrast, it took responders only 12 minutes to address Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in Tucson in January, according to Mr Scileppi.
Mr Storie defended the SWAT team’s actions, saying, ‘They still don’t know how many shooters are inside, how many guns are inside and they still have to assume that they will be ambushed if they walk in this house’. “
I’m sorry he was hit 22 times, the other 50 were sprayed around the neighborhood....
There were 27 seconds between the time of the siren and the door being opened. Enough time for the resident to get his weapon. There was another eight seconds before the first shot was fired.
They knew he was dead once the robot was sent in.

We have a right to defend ourselves. Even from the Gestapo.
He had to wake up, tell his wife to go to the closet, retrieve a weapon, take a defensive stance and identify his target....his safety was still on....unlike SWAT.
The police serving the warrant have the right to defend themselves. Don’t point your weapon at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
And yet the worst punishment that any of them will receive will be a letter of reprimand in their file that will be thrown out in 6 months.
“The SCOTUS hates the 4th Amendment but loves the Big Govt Police State.”
The SCOTUS ..at this point..works for our masters. The watering of the tree of liberty is on the cusp of commencing.
Absolutely ... the cops are more and more being viewed as the enemy to our once free society. In my opinion, they better start picking sides ... because WHEN ... not if the SHTF ... the ones on the government side are going to become fair game
You defend the jackbooted thugs when they murder an innocent American?
Do you defend them for preventing the ambulances from arriving for over an hour, while he bled to death in his own home?
If you had any decency, you would be ashamed of yourself. Absolutely disgusting and shameful. I hope you are not an American.
So they saw a man with a weapon.....and unload. Watch the coward that first runs away and then runs back so he can pull a trigger. They couldn't even be assed to determine if the wife had left with the kids. Is this your idea of professional police work?
Not a mistake. A lie! What they did was intentional.
And LEOs and their fervant supports wonder why we are growing distrustful.
The enemy is within. It will not be long and the hunt for rouge police will be on. When the very laws seem to protect murder like this then the law will not be obeyed.

“Statists” like those who defend these Gestapo tactics are what’s wrong with America.
“Statists” like these are why we had an American Revolution.
“Statists” like these are the reason we are in the middle of a second American Revolution.
“Statists” like these have no concept of the fury of the American People, once it reaches full vent.
So far, yes, it is crazy and depressing that I would like to see what charges were up for the man who got shot? Were those charges, or the man’s own records, serious enough that a SWAT Team needed to bust in and do the job?
It is really disappointing and sad that such an event like this happened, especially from the people whose job is to protect us domestically as well.
Based on the combat situation traing I got years ago, this “SWAT” team was trained by a moron.
