Therefore, exercising our independent judgment, we conclude a reasonable person in the officers' position would have "believe[d] the entry was necessary to prevent physical harm to . . . other persons.'"

People v. Ormonde (2006) 143 Cal.App.4th 282 (Ormonde), on which defendant relies, involved a very different set of facts. There, officers arrived at a home to arrest a domestic violence suspect and found the suspect standing outside next to a car. (Id. at p. 286.) While one of the officers assumed responsibility for arresting the suspect, the other officer walked to the front door, which was open. (Ibid.) He could see the living room and part of the kitchen, but a closed door blocked his view of the rest of the residence. (Id. at p. 287.) The officer testified he felt "vulnerable" because he did not know if someone would come out of the closed door, so he entered the residence. (Ibid.) Inside the residence, the officer encountered the defendant, who was later convicted on drug and firearm charges based on evidence the officers found while searching his home. (Id. at pp. 285, 287-290.)
