This is not really a “new” way to die by police violence, merely adding to an already established way to be murdered by public servants. The gist of it is that police showed up at the wrong house while trying to respond to a domestic violence call. The homeowner opened the door with a gun in his hand, and was subsequently murdered by police. Now, the murdered man had every right to open the door to his home with a gun in his hand. The article also does not mention whether he fired the gun or not, so I assume that he did not.
