Police in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, have apologized after a black family, with children ranging in age from six to 17, were detained at gunpoint and some handcuffed during a traffic stop that targeted the wrong car.

“After realizing the mistake, officers immediately unhandcuffed everyone involved, explained what happened and apologized,” said Aurora Police Department Interim Chief Vanessa Wilson, prefacing her explanation of the incident by saying, “We first want to offer our apologies to the family involved.”
