Garcia told KMSP that police grabbed the family's children and shielded them during the incident.

Shielded the children, or shielded themselves using the children?

Seriously, are they trying to make the cops look like heroes in the midst of this? I may be a bit simple-minded here, but I think there wouldn't be a need to shield kids if you didn't break into their homes with guns drawn in the first place. It's like the arsonist firefighter who wants credit for putting out the fires that he set.

I wonder how many shots were fired by SWAT, and how they knew there were no other children at risk from their stray bullets. (Even assuming that Garcia's claim is true, which I don't.)

That part is missing from updated account:

Two policemen were saved by bulletproof vests and helmets, and Mr. Khang, Ms. Moua and their children, possessing no body armor, happened to be curled in the right places to avoid the return gunfire.
