WHDH-TV's Victoria Block reports.
By NBC News and news services
A Massachusetts?woman says the FBI used a chain saw blade to cut through her door and held her at gunpoint for at least 30 minutes before agents realized they were conducting a raid at the wrong home.?
Judy Sanchez, of Fitchburg, says she awoke to heavy footsteps in the stairwell on Jan. 26 and walked into her kitchen in time to see a blade chop through her door.?
"I took two steps, face the second door, and I heard the click of a gun, and saying, ?FBI, get down,? so I laid down on my living room floor,? Sanchez told WHDH.com. "I was screaming, ?You have the wrong apartment, you have the wrong apartment,? over fifty times. And then I seen the big blade coming down my door."
She says she was held face-down on the floor at gunpoint while her 3-year-old daughter Ji?anni cried in another room.?
It turns out agents were after the other tenant on the floor of the multi-unit building who was suspected of dealing drugs. The raid was called Operation Red Wolf, a two-year investigation into drugs and weapons, WHDH.com reported.
Sanchez says she and her daughter now have trouble sleeping. The mom told WHDH she now sleeps with a baseball bat next to her bed.?
The FBI has apologized and is paying for the damage.
