I'm wondering how folks on this board would have handled this situation when the robbers are yelling "POLICE, POLICE" "GET ON THE GROUND".

If they were really Police and he simply started firing at the invaders, well that's not a good thing. But how would he know in those crucial seconds who were "imitators" vs "real LEO". There's no time to ask for search warrants when this takes place in a matter of seconds.

Any feedback out there ?

Usually with police you will hear a two way radio in the background. However, that is a scary situation. My first reaction would be that they have the wrong house and to cooperate.

There's no good answer to this bad situation. Let's stop here.
