All rules always apply. More than a couple of violations in this case. Someone already mentioned requesting the 'hiders' to come out from a position of safety. This is a tragedy, but like most, avoidable, with proper training, preparation, and awareness.
There are many ways that most of us could be caught up in similar situations. Late-night 'unauthorized' visits to teenage kids, for example. The surprise birthday or anniversary party, etc.
If you know the rules, and follow them, things may get exciting, but not fatal. A real shame.
