Yesterday around 12:40 a.m., the Jones family was awakened by the Detroit police, guns and "flash bombs" blazing through their home. Seven year old Aiyana Jones was not only fatally shot in the face/head as she slept on the couch, but also burned by flash bombs thrown into the home by the police. The police had a search warrant and were there looking for an individual that was a suspect in the slaying of a 17 year old high school student murdered last week.
The police are saying that when they entered the home a woman (Aiyana's grandmother) attacked them, this struggle is said to have caused the officers gun to go off and strike Aiyana. According to the family, this struggle never took place. Although the family did admit that the grandmother was moving about the home, they said she was trying to shield Aiyana and put out the fire that covered her little body due to the flash bomb. I'm not sure what was going on with the suspect in question but it doesn't matter, they should not have used such force while children were in the home. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT? These police need to be held accountable for the BS that they do because there is NOTHING that they can say to justify this madness. There is nothing that they can do to comfort this family, their baby is GONE... and all because of the negligence of those that are supposed to "protect" them. SMH. 
I'll be sending up prayers for the Jones family, and you all do the same. R.I.P. Aiyana.
