SWAT Raids Wrong House - Burns Sleeping Girl With Flash-Bang

 

 Effects of the flash-bang that gave a girl 1st and 2nd degree burns Another SWAT boondoggle that Police Chief Rich St. John describes as, "...totally unforeseen, totally unplanned and extremely regrettable."
A 12-year-old girl suffered burns to one side of her body when a flash grenade went off next to her as a police SWAT team raided a West End home Tuesday morning.

 "She has first- and second-degree burns down the left side of her body and on her arms," said the girl's mother, Jackie Fasching. "She's got severe pain. Every time I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes."
 
Medical staff at the scene tended to the girl afterward and then her mother drove her to the hospital, where she was treated and released later that day.
