SWAT Team Raids Wrong House Seriously Injures Innocent Little Baby

Nowadays, there's a lot of buzz about botched  SWAT raids, where innocent folks end up in the line of fire. It's no joke, and more often than not, these messed-up operations are triggered by prank calls.

In Ohio, it wasn't a prank, but the outcome was equally grim. A baby  ended up with serious injuries because a SWAT team chucked a flashbag grenade into the home while hunting down a suspect on the loose.
 

🧵Imagine being a mother on a peaceful afternoon, January 10, 2024. It's 2:00 P.M. in the afternoon, and you're caring for your year-old baby boy, preparing his bottle. He's nestled in his swing, watching Ms. Rachel on the television.

From Red State:

Courtney Price was at home on Wednesday taking care of her one-year-old son, Waylon, when they experienced a terrifying and traumatic altercation with local law enforcement. What should have been an ordinary day took a turn for the worse when SWAT officers broke into the home, searching for a suspect.

In the aftermath of the raid, it was revealed that law enforcement had targeted the wrong home, and tragically, their actions resulted in the baby sustaining injuries. The events that unfolded left the family shaken and seeking justice for Waylon’s suffering.

Price told RedState that she had been staying with her aunt Redia and her husband for one week before the incident occurred. She recounted her experience, describing how she stood petrified as the police burst into her aunt Redia’s home, throwing a flashbang grenade into the residence and breaking windows. She was feeding her son, who has a condition requiring the use of a G-tube because he cannot eat by mouth. A little after 2 pm, she “started hearing very loud pings on the door,” and went to see what was happening.

I got up and started walking towards the door, and all I could see was a bunch of police because we were in a split-level house, so I was at the top of the steps there. All I could see was a bunch of police, and they were already hitting the door. I was trying to get to the door to open it, but I didn’t want to get hit, so I just froze on the steps. They busted it down and busted the windows out all at the same time. I was standing there, I froze. I really wanted to run to my baby and just help him because I see all that smoke getting on him. There were handguns pointed at me [with the officers] saying, ‘Get down, put your hands up, come down here.’ So I went down. They grabbed me and took me outside, put me in handcuffs.
 

Later, the officers had Courtney waiting outside for about  40 minutes, while her son layed in his swing, covered in glass and smoke, struggling to breathe.

I can't even fathom the horror this poor mother experienced. Thank goodness the child is okay, but, honestly, if even a single shard of glass had taken a slightly different trajectory, we'd be looking at a whole different narrative.
