From Globalgrind.com:
Seven-year-old Aiyana Jones was asleep on the living room sofa in her family’s apartment when Detroit police busted in with their guns. They were looking for a murder suspect who lived on the second floor of the house. Aiyana’s father, 25-year-old Charles Jones, told the news that he had just gone to bed early Sunday after covering his daughter with her favorite Disney princess blanket when he heard a flash grenade followed by a gunshot. When he rushed into the living room, he said, police forced him to lie on the ground, with his face in his daughter’s blood.

This is what Jones told the Detroit press;
“I’ll never be the same. That’s my only daughter,”

“I saw them (police) running with my daughter out of the house. They had my mother on the floor, and they just kept me there for like two hours,” Jones told The Detroit News. “I knew it was bad, and they probably had my baby at the hospital, because someone asked me if she had any allergies.
