Ohio mayor orders probe after woman alleges police raided wrong house and injured her baby [View all]
The mayor Elyria, Ohio, has opened an investigation after a woman alleged police officers who raided her home had the wrong address and deployed flash bang devices that sent her 1-year-old to the hospital with burns.
However, police have offered a conflicting account of what happened on Jan. 10, saying they had executed a search warrant at the correct address and the child did not "sustain any apparent, visible injuries."
Elyria Mayor Kevin A. Brubaker called the accusations serious and disturbing, announcing on Saturday a complete review of the incident. He said body camera footage from the incident will be released later Tuesday.
The Elyria Police Department had obtained a court-authorized search warrant for a residence in the 300 block of Parmely Avenue as part of criminal investigation, police said in a news release Friday.

The baby has chemical pneumonitis, which is inflammation of the lung tissue caused by chemicals---from the flash bang smoke. Stupid cops.
