NYC Woman Dies in Botched Police Raid NEW YORK -- A 57-year-old woman died of an apparent heart attack Friday after police detonated a flash grenade and handcuffed her during a raid on the wrong apartment. [ Note that a Judge issued a warrant based solely on an informer ] An informant said that Spruill's sixth-floor Harlem apartment was being used by an armed drug dealer to stash cocaine and heroin, police officials said. After obtaining a search warrant, officers forced open the woman's door and tossed in a flash grenade, which creates a distraction by producing a loud noise and a blinding flash of light. Kelly said the grenade was used because it was believed there may have been guns and a dog in the apartment. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-police-raid-death,1,3361...
