Assuming a like set of conditions - a knock at the door in the middle of the night, voices claiming to be LEOs - I would first secure my person in a safe place, not near the front door. Armed and prepared for self defense. Second, I would call 911 to report that my "castle" was about to be invaded. If it is LEOs, they can so advise and coordinate the safe opening of the door. If it is BGs pretending to LEOs, then I have set in motion the back up I may need.

Just to muddy the water a bit. Suppose the 911 operator says there are no police at your location, because like in this case, they were at the wrong address. So now you know for an absolute fact the guys pounding on your door at 3am claiming to be cops are not in fact cops.
Suppose further that the cops decide to break down your door and you shoot them as they come thru the door.
Guess who is going to jail, and for how long?
