Did you guys not utilize the concept of 'Crisis Entry' at that point? Even for our patrol guys, much less SWAT, that would be considered a homicide in progress. We don't stand around and wait at that point. Just because it's not an 'Actove Shooter' doesn't mean it's not homicide.
I've pushed back on Lieutenants in simular circumstances, and also pulled back on the reigns and said 'No....we're not doing that' when one wanted to make a crisis Entry on what was clearly a bullshit call. It's important to be right.
