Better safe than sorry. Your reluctance to put yourself in danger to unlock the door would have been well founded if someone had been in the house. You know, a key well hidden somewhere outside might be a way to let the police in if you are ever in another situation like that. There are also door locks that have a digital pad instead of a key. One door outfitted with that would let you give a person entry over the phone. It would have allowed you stay in your bedroom at least. Just an idea.
