US Marshals Come to Wrong Apartment, Leave Terrified Mom and Baby Without Apology

US Marshals Come to Wrong Apartment, Leave Terrified Mom and Baby Without Apology


A Florida mom says she is shaken up after armed U.S. marshals pounded on her door, mistaking her apartment for one where they thought a murder suspect was hiding out. Marshals with guns drawn approached the Bradenton home and demanded Kada Staples to come to the door. Staples was inside with her 3-month-old baby girl at the time. Wearing just a t-shirt, Staples came outside cradling her baby girl. Once the officers realized they had made a mistake and took off, the new mom was left in tears.

(who wouldn't be?) But this doesn't even come close to the most egregious practices (or outcomes) out there. Think for a moment of a 'no knock' - where someone maybe mistakenly tries to defend themselves (and family)?
