One of the officers was shot in the hip during the incident, and was in serious, but stable, condition Tuesday morning after undergoing surgery at Grady Memorial Hospital.
“Early investigation indicates that the injured officer was likely shot accidentally by one of the other officers on the scene,” Dutton said."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.

Interim DeKalb police Chief James Conroy said the incident has prompted the county to review its when-to-shoot training protocol
Let me help you out:
Your own officer responding to the call with you?.....Don't Shoot!
Unarmed citizen who walks in to see that the dog barking and shooting is all about?.....Don't Shoot!
This updated article mentions that they shot some other kid who they thought was a burglar and had the wrong address, as well as another guy who called them for help - they came and shot his dog, then shot him when he asked why they shot his dog. He was at least armed, but never pointed the weapon at police.
So, in this small town of around 44K people they've had 4 police shootings in the last 2 years. 3 out of the 4 were innocent folks, the fourth was an unarmed naked man who charged police.
And...I have to admit...with all of the talk of police shootings and racism, I couldn't help but notice that the 3 cops involved this time were all Black.

Oh my. There are some real gems in this article.
“Are we perfect?” DeKalb director of public safety Cedric Alexander said. “Absolutely not. But when we find a mistake, we own it. We own the fact that we were at the wrong house. We didn’t hide it. We didn’t mismanage it. We were at the wrong location based on information that was given to us.”Derek Perez, the man who made the 911 call, wrote on Facebook that he’d told police about a possible burglar outside of “the farthest house at the end of the street.”
The officers, however, stopped at Chris and Leah McKinley’s home — the second house on the street — because it matched the “physical description” given, according to a release from the GBI.
According to neighbors, that’s when Chris McKinley — who’d been watching a movie called “Serendipity” with his wife and 1-year-old — walked into the room with his dog. Authorities said two of the officers opened fire after they “encountered a dog.”
“Without getting into the specifics of this case, that’s one of the challenges when people call 911, we often don’t know where they are,” Conroy said. “We want officers to go out and investigate crimes like this rather than react. We want to go out and actually apprehend criminals and help people.”
And finally...
“In light of everything going on in the country right now, anytime officers have to respond to a call, they’re checking and double checking themselves,” he said Tuesday. “A lot of the criticisms and mockeries they’ve sustained across the country and even locally is just unfair.”"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

I will say that DeKalb is not a tiny town; it's a county right next to Atlanta and has a very high crime rate."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

I'd still submit - if it's a burglar you MIGHT be looking for, who was reportedly walking around OUTSIDE the home - what the hell are you doing sneaking into the home and then deciding that you need to shoot anyone you run into on sight for? Couldn't you just wait outside for them to come out? The initial report didn't include anything that would lead me to believe the police needed to enter the home, guns drawn.
I've got a dog. You knock on the door and the dumb thing goes crazy. It would be impossible to NOT know someone is at the door. Leads me to believe that they didn't even try to see if anyone was home.
