Unless there is something saying the person has to be home for them to perform the search. I dont see why that would be the case.

You are missing multiple issues here....
First is they want to catch him with the drugs, not find the drugs at his house when the main suspect is at 7-11 getting a slurpee.
Second, even if he leaves the house they still have to serve the search warrant, and they still go in gun blazing expecting issues.
Third, you are also assuming they could "arrest him later in a safe environment". When you say "safe environment" do you mean when they attempt to serve an arrest warrant at his work place when he is armed? Or do you mean when he shows up to find his front door busted open and six people going through this stuff?
I'm sorry, but when police are expecting problems, resistance, or gun play they go in at 5am with flash bangs hoping to surprise everyone and catch them off guard. When you have two armed parties going into a confrontation sometimes the shit is going to hit the fan.
The police did nothing wrong, they were serving a legal warrant. At the same, the man shot a police officer who was doing his job.
