Was talking story with one of the officers that responded to this incident.  Something about the first guys who showed up initially couldn't tell (at least quickly) what happened to the guy since it was a freak thing where the bullet entered through the front of his neck/throat and went down.  That it wasn't obvious that he was shot and something about the entry wound not being obvious.  Kind of a perfect storm of things that sounded like a freak accident.

Followup to the shooting.  Navy investigated and found the sailor used no force on the door.  And it looks like the homeowner had time to move around the house.
He still could have had a genuine fear for his family's safety.  Maybe he could have suffered from PTSD as an Army veteran?  But this information hurts his case.  Very tragic for both sides.


Navy investigation finds no misconduct by sub sailor shot dead

“A reasonable person cannot assume that engaging the doorknob on the door of an incorrect apartment would lead to death from a gun fired on the other side of the door,” the Navy investigation found. “FTC Hasselbrink did not yell, kick, strike the door or act belligerently during this encounter; he merely attempted to open a door.”
