2 Gunmen Burst Into Home, the Wrong One
Two masked gunmen claiming to be police officers burst into a home and tied up a woman and two of her teen-age children with duct tape, then discovered they had the wrong house.
A 39-year-old woman was in a first-floor bedroom with two of her children and a grandchild when, the woman said, the two men kicked in a door, yelling: “This is the police! Everybody down on the floor!”
They asked for a man and, when told he did not live there, said “Damn, we got the wrong house,” she said.
Police gave no details about possible motives or suspects.
