Brittanie Weaver, her fiancé, and their children—including a nine-month-old girl—were having a movie night at home when Detroit police came knocking on the door, guns drawn, to execute a search warrant for a wanted man.

The problem was, according to Fox 2, they had the wrong home. Weaver had just moved in that week.

Weaver tells Fox 2's Jessica Dupnack: "We were sitting in the living room watching a movie, and all of a sudden we see through the window and hear 'open the door.' So we move to the back, wondering what's going on. Then they start kicking the door, as you can see, and next thing you know, they kick open the door and have shotguns with beams on them. I'm thinking one false move and we could get shot, possibly my children, so I'm just complying. They're saying they had a warrant for this house. They said they've been watching the house for a long time and the guy they're looking for is very dangerous."

Police issued a statement to Fox 2:

"Officers from the 6th precinct executed a signed search warrant at approximately 10 p.m. last night at a residence located in the 20100 block of Monicia for a suspect wanted in a non-fatal shooting. The suspect was registered to that location. The family advised officers that they moved in that week."
