5:01Now PlayingChicago SWAT Raids Wrong Home. Guns Pointed At Mom, Grandma And Four Kids. Jury Hits City For $5.7M.
A Chicago SWAT team storms the wrong home, detonates flashbangs, and points guns at a mother, a grandmother, and four children. A jury later delivers a $5.7 million verdict against the city.
A Chicago family was doing nothing wrong when a SWAT team raided their home based on bad information from an informant. Officers detonated flashbang devices and entered the residence with guns drawn, pointing weapons at a mother, a grandmother, and four children, including a four‑year‑old. No evidence of any crime was found. The case exposed serious failures in police training and policy, and a jury ultimately held the City of Chicago accountable, awarding the family $5.7 million in damages.
