NYTimes | Earlier,
police SWAT units surrounded a house a few blocks from the scene of the
shooting, and officers climbed onto the roof and broke through a vent
to gain access. The police took in three people from the house for
questioning and released them hours later.
The
three, Iresha Turner, who lives at the home, and her friends Martez
Little and Lamont Underwood, said they had attended the protest but had
nothing to do with the shootings. Ms. Turner and Mr. Underwood said they
fled from the protest to Ms. Turner’s house when the shots were fired,
and Mr. Little said he came to Mr. Turner’s home later and was also
detained.
Ms.
Turner said her 6-year-old son had been traumatized by the search and
the implication that his mother might have something to do with the
crime.
“I have to live here,” said Ms. Turner, who identified herself as a single mother. “I have no help. I’m a good woman.”
Mr.
Underwood speculated that someone might have seen him and Ms. Turner
speeding away from the protest scene and reported it to the police.
