A Texas family has demanded that the Galveston Police Department issue a public apology after a SWAT team executed a botched raid on their home in the middle of the night.

“We want a public and specific apology to the Rios family,” said lawyer Tony Buzbee during a press conference Wednesday morning, adding that the police had the wrong suspect and the wrong house. Buzbee represents the homeowner and her family, as well as the wrongly-accused suspect who was the subject of the raid.
