Yes - but lets step back and think about what we can do to prevent these things from happening. TWO things went wrong here. Not one. The criminal who made the fake call was to blame and the police officer who shot an innocent and unarmed occupant is also to blame. There will be always crazy pranksters. We have laws to prosecute them but they can be out of country, so we really cannot fix that. But we can fix the second thing that went wrong. We can ensure that police is trained not to kill wrong person in hostage situations (i.e., it could be that there was some hostage situation but person going out was the actual hostage).
