Some more info on this story is on the sunsentinel newspaper website:
Thursday morning officers knocked on the door. They tried to get Wilk to come outside to receive the warrant, but he refused, Jenne said. Shots were fired in the house by the suspect, who was armed with a high-powered weapon, Jenne said.
``Mr. Wilk had several weapons, several high-caliber weapons around the house,'' Jenne said.
One shot pierced Deputy Fatta's bullet-proof vest, ultimately killing him.
Other officers returned fire at Wilk. He was not injured, Jenne said. But the suspect gunman was quickly caught and taken into custody. No one else was in the house.
Police have been to the Wilk's home at least two times in the past two years. Last year, a child porn warrant was issued at the home in the residential neighborhood, at which point Wilk threatened officers and was arrested. Last month, another warrant was served and Wilk's roommate, registered sex offender Kelly Ray Jones, was arrested on charges of using the Internet to send illicit images of children to an undercover detective. He remains in federal custody.

This certainly doesnt sound like a good case for the "Gee the police barged right in and I shot because I thought I was being robbed" defense.
