Saddest Story Ever

The Mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland had his home invaded by a SWAT team who tied up his mother-in-law and shot and killed his two dogs, Black Labradors named Payton and Chase.
Last week, a FedEx delivery was dropped off at Cheye Calvo's house. It was addressed to his wife so he picked it up and brought it inside.
Police had been tipped off to the package when it was flagged by a bomb-sniffing dog. Now police say drug smugglers used Calvo's wife's identity to send the package (containing 32 pounds of marijuana) to her address and hoped to pick it up before she was able to.
But as soon as Calvo brought the package in the house, the SWAT team invaded.
Calvo said he was brought downstairs at gunpoint in his boxer shorts, handcuffed and forced onto the floor with his mother-in-law near the carcass of one of dead dogs.
"I noticed my two dead dogs lying in pools of their own blood," Calvo said.
Police say they shot the dogs because they felt threatened but Calvo said the dogs were tracked down by the cops and one was shot in the back as he was running away.
