Authorities shot a woman during a botched raid at her home. The real suspect was already in jail.

Ann Rylee was curled up on her recliner, drifting back to sleep after seeing her fiance off to work, when a commotion startled her.
Outside in the predawn dark, authorities from local and federal law enforcement agencies had surrounded the 20-year-olds home in rural Wilmer, Ala. They were looking for her fiances uncle, who had outstanding warrants, according to police.
But the man wasnt there. Police had booked him in county jail the previous day, and family members would later say he hadnt lived at the residence in more than a year.
That was apparently unclear to authorities on the scene, who descended on the property in unmarked cars early Thursday morning.

I found myself thinking as I read the story what a long story! Wow. They say she had a gun, but didnt mention that until several paragraphs into the story... after reading, i thought, oh, I bet shes white. Because you know, they dont usually make the victim of a police shooting so sympathetic.
Glad she is recovering fully. 👍 poor thing. One article said she is only 19.
