I just read this news article and questioned if the police were within their right to enter the home. Event In Larwill Ends In Arrest
They were going on the word of one individual that said she had text messages saying he was going to commit suicide. They may or may not have known for sure if he was actually inside the residence but it said they opened the door and made entry. Now it doesn't say they had a warrant but if they did not, is it legal for them to gain entry and in turn is the home owner within his rights to defend?
