An Edmonton family says they are traumatized after the Edmonton Police Service tactical team smashed in their door.

At the same time, police stormed the home’s back door and three screaming teenagers were taken outside, where they were told to lay face down on the ground.

Alberta RCMP said officers believed there could be a victim held a gunpoint — but it turned out to be a false allegation.

“I’m just a kid, why are we being arrested?” one of the teens asked tearfully.

“We’re not going to be shot, right?” she asked and was assured by officers that wouldn’t happen. “Ok I’m just really scared,” she replied.

James Potts said his parents and kids are traumatized. He came home to see police storming his property.

“I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ My parents live here, my kids live here. Two officers approached me at gunpoint, with their lights on and told me to get on the ground or they were going to shoot me,” Potts said.

Global's Sarah Komadina explains how it all happened.
