I based it on my opinion, and how the situation "unfolded" (ie. was told).
Police are not going to mess around when someone says a gun was fired at them (whether that happened or not), but judging by the "standoff" this guy/family has more than likely had confrontations with LEO's before and they decided to make a stand.
FTR. Innocent people don't continue bathing their nephews when the police are knocking at their door for 30mins, especially when they're asking you to come outside.
Let's break it down, from an RCMP perspective..
"shots fired" most people come outside and are detained, one stays inside (and refuses to come outside) with two young kids (kidnapped?, held with guns?).
See how the situation can change with many possible outcomes?
Oh and one more thing, knowing the area (strathmore/chestemere), and the amount/type of crime, the RCMP's reaction doesn't surprise me.
