People v. Ormonde, supra, 143 Cal.App.4th 282 is distinguishable from this case. Here, the warrantless search was not based on the volatile situation alone. As stated ante, the officers had information that the domestic violence occurred inside defendant's house. The officers also knew that injuries had been sustained during the incident, and someone was inside defendant's house who was the subject of at least an attempted assault by Neyra.
