At 5 a.m. on February 3, Marioneaux fired one shot at a
SWAT team member that entered his home, prompting a
detective to return fire at Marioneaux. No one was injured
by the gunfire, the Journal reports.

I guess the questions remains was he notified that they were
law enforcement? I'm assuming they were wearing police uniforms.

Maybe, under their SWAT gear...

Even some of the SWAT teams do not have POLICE on their gear.

Interestingly enough, two of the mobsters who carried out the St. Valentines’s Day Massacre were wearing police uniforms.

If the cops really have to raid a house, give the folks inside some clue. The police should be required to have a marked car outside. Turn on the lights and siren just before hitting the door.

How hard can that be?

Yeah, cause no home invader/carjacker has ever masqueraded as a cop. /s

Just because cops show their badge doesn't make it right for them to burst into a house unannounced. They should inform the homeowner of the warrant and even allow the homeowner to call the precinct to confirm such. IMO.
