Supreme Court Montana warrant police shooting.

The Supreme Court has sided with Montana police in a case over when officers can enter a home without a warrant if an emergency might be unfolding inside. The unanimous high court on Wednesday found officers acted lawfully when they went into the home of William Case, who was shot and wounded by officers who entered his home after his ex-girlfriend reported he might have killed himself. The justices rejected Case’s argument that police should have to meet a higher standard to enter a home during an emergency. But the justices also disavowed a looser approach taken by the state’s highest court.
