SPRING VALLEY — David McKay and his wife, 13-year-old daughter, brother-in-law and two dogs were sleeping early Thursday morning when they heard banging on their front door.
Thinking a neighbor needed help, McKay and his wife, Jamie, ran down the stairs of their townhouse at 36 Sharon Drive and opened the door.
No one in the family was prepared for what they said happened next.
McKay said his family was terrorized by police who were slow to realize they were targeting the wrong house.
Authorities admit that they were at the McKays' home as part of a series of drug raids in Spring Valley, Mount Vernon, the Bronx, northern New Jersey, the Albany area and Pennsylvania. But they dispute the family's account, insisting they were briefly in the McKays' home looking for information.
The family said that at least eight police officers — their weapons drawn — barged into the house and pointed guns at the family and threaten ed to shoot their dogs.
"Their guns were drawn. They were screaming, 'Where's Michael? Where's Michael?' " McKay recounted hours later. "I'm trying to tell them there's no one named Michael here."
McKay said he tried to explain that his daughter was sleeping in an upstairs bedroom, but the officers ran up the stairs anyway.
He said they pulled the eighth-grader out of her bed at gunpoint and dragged her down the stairs.
"I was so scared I thought I was going to have a heart attack," Destinee McKay, a middle school student, said.
