Cops searching for wrong person wreck family's home during raid, Texas officials say

A Texas police chief is on leave after a SWAT team wrecked a Galveston family’s home during a raid in search of a murder suspect who wasn’t there and turned out to be the wrong guy, officials say.

Erika Rios and her teenage children were awakened in their beds around 2 a.m. on Jan. 22 by a voice on a megaphone booming outside, saying they were Galveston Police, she told The Daily News.

Glass shattered as police fired less-than-lethal rounds through windows, kicked in doors and damaged wiring, Rios told the outlet.

“We were all so confused,” she said, according to The Daily News. “When they dragged me out, I was left with a bruise and scrape on my right thigh.”
