My mom gasped with shock and my brother and I froze in our tracks. Suddenly, we found assault rifles pointed at us. I screeched in a horrifying voice, “Mom! What is going on?” I do not remember if she answered me, for my heart raced in fear as a buzzing sound engulfed my ears. I knew that I was about to lose consciousness. At that moment, I felt a police officer grab my arm as another officer grabbed my brother. I screamed for my aunt and uncle, who lived just behind us, to come to get us, but they could not hear us. As the police handcuffed my mom, the officers let my brother and me free. We scrambled to my aunt and uncle’s house, while they put Mom in the back of the police car and began searching our house. Soon my grandmother came to the scene, got our clothes, and took us to her
