Pima County Sheriff's Department today responded to the controversy surrounding the death of a man shot and killed by deputies earlier this month.

Attorney Mike Storie says that contrary to what the Guerena's wife's attorney said, the SWAT team made it very clear they were police and they were there to serve a search warrant.

Storie says they used lights and sirens, and eventually pounded on the door for about 45 seconds before going in. Once inside, Storie admits the victim did not fire at the SWAT team, but he says the victim's actions still warranted the response that law enforcement took.

Storie went on to say the items found inside the home help prove these allegations - PCSD found several weapons, drug material and even equipment similar to police uniforms that he says could have been used to raid drug houses posing as police.
