Sarah Dozier, identified as a niece of the woman, told WAGA-TV that there were never any drugs at the house.

Interesting. Does anyone have more details on this story?

So far from Atlanta media

The officers were not in uniform.

The house had burgler bars on every window.

The police say they had a warrant, they knocked first and announced they were police. They say the warrant was served at the correct address.

The neighborhood has been very run down but has been undergoing renovation for about 10 years with new expensive houses being built on vacent lots


Quotes from neighbors:
It happened about 7 PM while nearby neighbors were sitting out on porches.

The woman had been fearful because a 75 year old woman had been raped in the neighborhood recently.

"I heard 'pow, pow, pow, pow,' " said Jackson. "A whole lot of gunfire, really fast." She estimated the number between 16 and 24. She said within five minutes, "about 20" police cars swarmed into the area.

I am getting really concerned about these types of stories.

I read at least one a week, where cops dressed up like burglars (or a military squadron) kick in somebody's door and shoot an innocent person. This has happened here several times, once an elderly man was shot in Tennessee when cops kicked down his door (wrong address) in the middle of the night and he jumped out of bed and grabbed a gun to defend himself.Usually, if there is a dog present, it is also shot.

I don't know if this woman was innocent, but I suspect it is another such case.

The cops can't seem to arrest illegal aliens (many violent criminals) that are crawling that area, but they have time for this? I realize cops have a dangerous job, but could they not have STAKED out that house to see who was there, coming and going?
