You don’t sneak up to someone’s house and shoot them dead if they are protecting their home from people sneaking around their home.
The better approach would be to pull your car in front, turn on your lights and call the residence to see if they are all right. At least that way the homeowner can clearly identify the police car and determine there is no threat. If it’s a bad guy then you make sure to watch the perimeter and put your donut down and be prepared to pursue a fleeing person, people don’t generally flee for no good reason. It doesn’t mean shoot the fleeing person, you apprehend that person.
Question: Two neighbors—a sister who lives on one side of the house who calls her brother who lives on the other side of the house (who calls the cops)—both think that there is something really wrong with the house. Why didn’t they call the house? Why didn’t they go over and knock on the door?
