Police called due to open door and concern by neighbors for the well being of the familyl.
Instead of going to the open door and announcing their presence, putting on the flashing lights or using a megaphone, one of the officers did a sneak move around the side of the house, was seen by the occupant who picked up her own gun out of fear. The policeman immediately fired his weapon and she is now dead.
