Maybe the Police need to be proactive and start changing thier approach on warrant searches. Of course they would be the last to tell that their procedures have changed. My guess would be call 911 as soon as you see someone and have them confirm that police are supposed to be there.
Otherwise its a scary scenario, the 81 yr old lady thought she was defending herself and got killed.

Home Invasion in North Austin
http://keyetv.com/local/local_story_036173021.html
(CBS 42) AUSTIN Austin police are looking for two home invaders, who tied up and robbed a couple in broad daylight at a home on Oriole Drive, just north of Rundberg and I-35 Monday.
Police say the suspects were wearing T-shirts with the word "POLICE" printed on the front. They took several items and left the couple who lived in the home shook up and the neighborhood shocked.
Neighbors say something like this doesn't happen around here.
"It's a fairly peaceful neighborhood, so I wouldn't expect it to happen here," neighbor Lewis Frost said.
It's a neighborhood where kids jump rope up the street and puppies play in yards. Now neighbors are locking their doors and on the lookout for trouble.
"As far as being concerned, I'm pretty concerned being a neighbor that lives around here, but hopefully they'll have more cops patrolled the area," neighbor Mark Acosta said.
Neighbors haven't seen police respond to the house before. Monday's news has others worried about their safety.
"My roommate’s wife was wondering about sometimes being home by herself in the daytime," neighbor Lyle Minnis said.
If you're the victim of a home invasion, the experts say to stay calm, cooperate, don't fight back and look for something unique on the intruders—like a scar or tattoo.
Police aren't saying what items the robbers took from the house or what they said to the folks who were in there.
Anyone with information is asked to call police. CrimeStoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Be a sheep and cooperate, maybe they won't harm you or your family.
Very sarcastic if it was not clear.
