This details of this story are changing as we speak<\/a>, so I’m withholding judgement on anyone. But anyway former 26-year-old Marine Jose Guerena was woken by his wife Vanessa when she saw the shadow of a man with a gun in her window. Jose sent her and her their son to a closet to hide and he grabbed his AR-15 rifle and headed to the front door. <\/p>\n

Vanessa claims she didn’t hear sirens or shouts from the deputies identifying themselves, but when they broke down the door, they found Jose in a firing stance. One deputy fired and hit the door frame spraying wood chips over the other officers who then thought they were being fired at, so they opened fire with 71 rounds killing Jose. The officers claim that Jose was killed instantly while his wife claims he was still breathing when officers dragged her from the house. <\/p>\n

Officers initially claimed that Jose Guerena fired first<\/a> and they’ve since recanted that statement saying he hadn’t fired at all<\/a>. That there was a round in the chamber, but that the weapon was on “safe”. <\/p>\n

The officers were serving a search warrant. Rumors are that they had the wrong address. Guerena had a few traffic tickets, but no criminal record by all accounts.<\/p>\n

He served two tours in Iraq;<\/p>\n

Guerena was a Tucson native and Flowing Wells High School graduate. He joined the U.S. Marines in 2002. He served two tours in Iraq in 2003 and 2005 as part of the Yuma-based MWSS-173 under direct supervision of Master Sgt. Leo Verdugo.<\/p>\n

Verdugo was with Guerena’s family Tuesday afternoon. He gave them a Marine Corps jacket and gloves to use at Guerena’s burial.<\/p>\n

“He was an excellent Marine, with a bright future ahead of him,” Verdugo said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lew Rockwell <\/a>is on the case, so i don’t know what to think. <\/p>\n

If anyone in the Tucson area knows more details, please fill us in.<\/p>\n
