I don't know if I buy your logic on this, but I'm no expert.
But he shot his mom, he knew the cops were coming. It was an apartment and it sounds like a resident let the cops in and the both went to the same door of the apartment.
So they were doing a same door entry so a cross fire is unlikely, and could be more likely that the police were shot coming through the door. Just some off reports out there, it doesn't sound like the police got a shot off.
This whole thing is tragic and sad and a waste of life.
Lets hope that police in bad neighborhoods, which is how this neighborhood was described don't go with the American model of overwhelming kick down the door force on every suspicious call.
