The end results were probably the same outcome as if SWAT had responded, been set up outside, and he advanced on officers with a pistol in hand. He would have most certainly been shot either way. There's slim possibility that HNT could have talked him into surrendering. Who knows.

If they'd gone in that building to find a suspect holding a gun to the victim's head, and the victim had been murdered, then their @sses would be in a sling right now. They were relatively lucky it turned out the way it did. When it doubt, call the SWAT commander and let them know what's going on.
