On one of my previous posts<\/a>, I speculated if neighbors heard the sirens<\/a> that the Pima County SWAT claims they used to approach Jose Guerena’s home. I also wondered if the high volume of gun fire resulted in stray rounds striking neighbors’ homes. The answer to both questions seems to be ‘yes’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A neighbor who heard the shooting corroborates the wife’s account, “The only sirens I heard out here were like maybe 20-30 minutes into the entire ordeal,” said David Watson.<\/p>\n

Watson is very familiar with gunfire and stressful situations; he’s a Vietnam combat veteran, “I want to make this as clear as possible: you only heard the announcements after you heard the gunfire?” asked KGUN9 reporter Joel Waldman. Watson quickly answered, “Yes!”<\/p>\n

Raising questions about this assertion: “This was not a “no knock” warrant. We come in very high profile with lights and sirens. We go to the door. We pound on the door. We wait 15 seconds, and, then, we breach the door with a heavy tool and open the door,” explained O’Connor.<\/p>\n

Today, KGUN9 also learned SWAT Guerena’s neighbor’s house. “When I came home, the whole house was searched. All the doors were open. And, (our house) was searched through; it was like an invasion of privacy,” said Carissa Franco.<\/p>\n

SWAT says it was concerned about a hole in the Franco’s home, worried someone else could’ve been wounded. So, it said it did what they needed to get inside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So police are now authorized to enter and search your home as long as they shoot into it first? I don’t remember that part of the Fourth Amendment.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Dupnik won’t release any more information on the case his office announced yesterday<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s 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\u2019s SWAT officers May 5 at his home.<\/p>\n

Two weeks after the shooting the department has yet to disclose exactly what they were searching for in the Guerena home as well as three other residences in the area that were subjects of a drug investigation. Court documents that show what officers were searching for in the case have been sealed and what was seized as evidence has also been sealed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You may remember when questions arose from the department’s dealings with Jarod Loughner, the shooter in the Tucson parking lot incident, they immediately sealed all of the records on that case, too. I guess they figure that they’ll seal the records up until the furor dies down and everyone forgets.<\/p>\n
