Tactically speaking, shooting through a door can be a very sound approach. There's a tremendous tactical advantage to eliminating a potential threat before it can harm you. However, tactics aren't the only thing at issue--the problem comes when you view the situation from a moral/legal standpoint.

The problem comes when you don't know who is at the other side of the door. Which was the case in this incident, It could be a neighbour's child, someone looking for directions, someone injured, etc. So unless you know who it is and they are trying to harm you, shooting through the door is stupid, and irresponsible. I think more emphasis should be put on this rather than some possible tactical advantage.
