Standing army uses explosives to enter home, shoot

Under the guise of the "War on [Some] Drugs"...
"A man was fatally shot early Tuesday after he fired at members of a drug task force who were executing a search warrant for methamphetamines."
"Members of the Rio Concho Multi-agency Drug Enforcement Task Force had information that David Moses Chappa, 21, had drugs and a firearm, prompting officers and SWAT team members to force their way into the home, Police Chief Joe Gibson said at a press conference."
"While neighbors told the San Angelo Standard-Times they heard a big explosion, Gibson declined to detail the tactics police used to gain the surprise entry."
"It was unclear how many shots were fired and whether any drugs were found."
QUESTIONS:
1) How long does it take to have all officers who fired their weapons account for the number of shots fired?
2) Is it really that unreasonable to begin firing when someone gains explosive entry to your home?
3) If causing this man's death was based on some alleged information that he was in possession of drugs, why weren't drugs found -- or, if they were found, why wasn't it reported?
4) What clause in the united States Constitution authorizes the government activity that led to this man's death?
Man fatally shot as drug task force executes search

SAN ANGELO -- A man was fatally shot early Tuesday after he fired at members of a drug task force who were executing a search warrant for methamphetamines.
Members of the Rio Concho Multi-agency Drug Enforcement Task Force had information that David Moses Chappa, 21, had drugs and a firearm, prompting officers and SWAT team members to force their way into the home, Police Chief Joe Gibson said at a press conference.
While neighbors told the San Angelo Standard-Times they heard a big explosion, Gibson declined to detail the tactics police used to gain the surprise entry.
When officers got inside, according to KACB-TV in San Angelo, Chappa pulled out a gun and began firing. Officers fired back, hitting Chappa several times.
None of the officers was injured. It was unclear how many shots were fired and whether any drugs were found.
Chappa's body was taken to Lubbock for an autopsy.
One other person was in the house at the time of the shooting and two were outside, the newspaper reported. They were detained for questioning but no arrests had been made as of late today, officials said.
The Texas Rangers were investigating the shooting.
