Police in Montgomery, Alabama Tear-Gassed the Wrong House Searching for Shooting Suspect Desmonte Leonard
By Jason McIntyre
"While authorities were at the home Monday, Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange said they were going to scour the attic, air conditioning ducts and “every crevice” of the house until they were satisfied. They were drilling holes and tearing through pieces of the house. They vowed to repay the house’s owner or rebuild the structure. Investigators said thermal imaging and other technology showed a person was in the attic area of the house and that they’d heard coughing and movement. But after midnight, they acknowledged that they hadn’t heard those noises for several hours."
Leonard wasn’t in the house. It appears nobody was. Police abruptly left around 2:25 am. [AP via Ritty]
