OOPS . . . SORRY

New York City police kicked down the door of an apartment belonging to
Alberta Spruill, 57, after tossing a stun grenade inside.  They
handcuffed the city employee, who then suffered a heart attack and
died within an hour  Later police explained they thought the apartment
belonged to a drug dealer, who turned out to live in a different unit
in the same building and had been arrested four days earlier.  The
woman's death was ruled a homicide.
