Jose Guerena, 26, was killed when a SWAT team came to his house to serve a search warrant
Guerena's wife, Vanessa, said the SWAT team did not identify themselves
Thinking it was a home invasion, Guerena got his rifle
Now, Pima County Sheriff's officials are refuting original claims that Guerena fired at the SWAT members. In fact, they confirmed his safety was still on when his gun was recovered. Also, officials said that reports that some SWAT officers' shields were riddled with bullets are also untrue.
SWAT gunned Jose down with 71 rounds fired in just about seven seconds; officials said they did not expect Vanessa to be home with their four-year-old son, Joel, who ended up witnessing his dad's death. Now he has questions about what happened, like so many others.
"The only thing he asked me, 'Mom, my dad a bad guy? They killed my dad! Police killed my dad? Why? What did my dad do?'" explained Guerena.
Jose's relatives want his children to know he did his best to be a great husband, dad and patriot.
