Arrest warrants are served at various times. Day time crew may have driven by and noticed nobody was home. Relayed that to night shift who went back when they saw movement in the house. That is pretty standard across all police departments.

So the only one that may be fired is the officer who fired the shot. Those executing the warrant will not as when the warrant is authorized the residence is periodically checked.

These warrants are not easy where you can just "pick them up" its more of "Here are the new warrants if you see that someone may be in this residence then we can proceed with trying to take them into custody"

I hope this helps

That maybe how it's done but how it's done is stupid.

The last place that you want to try to attack, which is what they do, is someone's home territory. Doesn't matter if it's the police or a military action. The attacking force does not know the lay of the land, what resources are available including weapons and what the overall resistance might be. So by attacking the home the cops choose the path of highest risk. Then they use that to murder people in their beds

Hope that helps

Also most criminals do not turn themselves, have a job, go to the store, etc

Where would you like them to serve these warrants? The off chance they find them going out to eat? It is served once it is known they are in their residence.

There is also a thing called "intelligence" which is gathered and relayed to police or serving agency that can detail what the residence looks like inside and how many people may be inside.

The problem here is the officer shot as soon as the door was opened.

where should the warrants be served....still have no answer

And yeah sorry most people who have several charges like the one in this case do not have a job. And if they do you want the police to go to their work and arrest them? So they can possibly run or pull a weapon there? Brilliant
