SWAT Video Captures Officers Firing 71 Times on Former Marine Posted on May 27, 2011 at 11:10am by Jonathon M. Seidl Questions of excessive force are once again being raised, this time in Tucson, Arizona after a SWAT team fired over 70 times at a 26-year-old former Marine during a drug raid that has yet to turn up any evidence against the now deceased soldier. Questions are also being raised after the SWAT team changed its story, first saying that Jose Guerena had fired on them, but later retracing that. A new report says Guerena’s gun was never fired and never taken off safety. And now, video from the team shows the deadly raid: KGUN-TV explains what happened the morning of May 5: As the SWAT team prepares to serve their search warrant on Jose Guerena’s home one of the first things they do is turn on their sirens. After eight seconds the siren is turned off and we hear the team announce their presence. “Police, search warrant open the door,” an officer screams on the audio file. Moments later the door is busted open. The video shows officers start entering the home when shots ring out for a full seven seconds nonstop. An officer is seen falling out of the doorway as the shooting stops. The team backs out of the house, unknowing they had struck the suspect. They use their PA system to call out to anyone in the home. “This is the Pima County Sheriff’s Department we need you to come to the front door with your hands up.”
