Video shows the terrifying moment armed US Marshals entered a young Florida mother's apartment without a warrant Friday morning in pursuit of a fugitive who had nothing to do with her.
The Marshals were searching for a homicide suspect wanted by the Manatee County Sheriff's Office when they approached Kada Staples' unit, thinking the fugitive may be inside.
'U.S. Marshals. Come to the door!' an officer is heard yelling in the video, which was captured on Staples' doorbell camera.
'Tell him to come out with his hands up,' another officer yelled to the camera. 'We know he's in there. The place is surrounded.'

'Are we going to shoot someone or...?' another one of the officers, who was holding a rifle, said.
'Shamar, U.S. Marshals, come to the door with your hands up!' yelled another.
'No! I don't know a Shamar,' Staples responded through her Ring system, her voice indicating she was crying.
'Nobody's in here! Ok? Hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm coming.'
Staples then opened her door, barefoot and holding her 3-month-old daughter, and was ushered out by police.
She told Fox 13 she was led down the breezeway while a few Marshals went into her home.
'There was probably seven or eight guys out there with guns. Three of them run in my apartment with no warrant or anything and are just running around,' she said.
