This man, not so lucky: https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774788611/police-owe-nothing-to-man-whose-home-they-blew-up-appeals-court-says https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774788611/police-owe-nothing-... The case is a little different because in the case from OP, the resident at the home knowingly let the fugitive into her home(who she knew was a fugitive). She then left and called the police. Whereas with the case I linked in Colorado, the fugitive illegally entered the home. On the flip side, the Colorado suspect was actively shooting at the police from the home, while the Texas suspect apparently didn't do that, and merely committed suicide in a bedroom.

> and merely committed suicide That really doesn't read very well.

  My intent was that he was not actively threatening police officers or the public, and in fact may have been dead before the police decided to blow the house up.

From your article: > Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart > In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property's doors. Amazing...

  How about quoting the relevant part? > he broke into Lech's house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun
