It says "through a window" in the link you gave as evidence.

It says 'including through [his] window", and the pluralization of the word 'gunshots' combined with the fact that they internally couldn't identify who shot Lemp tells us more than one officer was shooting. Because of how they use assets to minimize friendly fire risks, only one officer would be positioned to shoot through the window, meaning at least one other officer would have been shooting through the wall.

But this isn't a hard proof, so I did some sleuthing:

What we can tell from looking at the house:

  • The house is single story.
  • The house is in close proximity to other houses.
  • The back door is overgrown and likely not 'the door entering into his bedroom' that they claim was boobytrapped.
  • There is a second door to the far left of the porch, which must be the door they are referring to. The door enters into the garage area.
  • The garage is an addition, judging by its construction, and was converted into his bedroom (which is evidenced by continuing down the cross street, which shows much older images from before the garage door was deleted and re-sided.
  • The motion sensor light overseeing the drive was kept (they didn't approach up the drive).

From this, we can deduce that his blinds were closed, and would be almost perpetually closed (which is supported by the streetview), and this preempts any theories of night vision through the window. If it wasn't thermal nor night vision, it leaves radar, which is the premier technology for this sort of thing in the first place.

12252 is the address of the house the map is centered on, and you describe, but the highlighted address is a few streets away. Which is correct?

The highlighted address is a random address I used to get on his street in the first place. The map centered location is correct.

Was the girlfriend shot?

They didn't say, except that she was wounded. They didn't say if it was from gunfire or roughing up when officers invaded the house later.
