A Bellevue family said it’s suing the FBI after agents mistakenly entered their home with guns drawn looking for a suspect who wasn’t there.

Attorney Tim O’Brien said 12 officers, including members of the FBI, entered the home with assault rifles in March looking for a woman who had moved out two years earlier and who was not related to the family currently living there., the Adamses.

Grandmother Denise Adams said she fell to the floor when agents entered her home.

There were also children inside the home at the time.
