Officers Shoot Woman During Search for Man Already in Jail
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) – Officers who mistakenly entered a home trying to arrest an Alabama man who was already in jail shot a woman who was inside. Family members tell news outlets in Mobile that 19-year-old Ann Rylee was wounded during a raid Thursday. She’s hospitalized and is expected to survive. Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran says officers opened fire because the woman pointed a shotgun at officers. But he says it’s unclear why officers didn’t know that a man they were searching for had been arrested a day earlier. The man used to live at the house where the shooting happened.
