Police rushed to the home on Sat. Oct. 16 about 9:45 p.m. after a 911 call from a neighbor who thought a burglary was taking place inside the residence on Menefee Drive in Pleasant Grove.
Sha-Galia Felder and son Alexander were watching TV and eating a late dinner when he saw flashlights at the front door. It was open, but a glass storm door was closed and unlocked.
“I didn’t hear them say anything, I just heard banging,” Alexander said.
He jumped up to see what was going on and saw two officers with guns drawn, one inside the home.
“So I immediately say, ‘Whoa, whoa, what’s going on? What’s going on?” he said.
Alexander says he complied with commands and was taken outside.
Sha-Galia says she waited for permission to get up.
“I was like, ‘I’m in here, is it okay if I come out?” she said.
Cell phone video from neighbors captured the incident.
“They was like, ‘Oh no, no, they live here, they live here,” Alexander said.
When outside, Sha-Galia says she questioned the officers’ actions.
“I was asking them why were they here. Why are you here and why are your guns drawn? She responded the way he ran to the door made us believe that something was wrong. I was like, ‘What was wrong is that you all were banging on the door,’” she said.
Dallas police were responding to a 911 call from an area resident who thought the house was being burglarized. The caller talked with Alexander the following day, telling him they had left for dinner and came back and saw the door was still open. They thought someone had broken in and called police.
