You can still be a victim even if you’ve done nothing illegal:
Two officers who raided an innocent family’s house on a bad tip were shot at and returned fire, but no one was injured, a police spokesman said.
Vang Khang said Monday that he grabbed his hunting gun to protect himself, his wife and his six children when they heard someone burst through the back door early Sunday. He fired three shots, hitting two members of the SWAT team, but they were unhurt because of their bulletproof vests and helmets.
Officers returned fire, but nobody in the house was injured. Police released Khang after taking his statement.
All six of the children, ages 3 to 15, were home at the time.
I’m glad the cops are keeping the kids safe.
