COON RAPIDS, Minn. — Officials in Coon Rapids are demanding answers after a KARE 11 investigation revealed how Minneapolis police and the Anoka County SWAT team raided the wrong home in their city.
During the pre-dawn ‘no-knock’ raid, an innocent mother and her 12-year-daughter were held at gunpoint.
“It seems like we have a responsibility to protect our residents somehow,” Mayor Jerry Koch said during this week’s city council meeting.
