...When SWAT officers checked the apartment they found a 9mm handgun inside, according to the lieutenant, who said shell casings also were located outside the home but they did not find a gunshot victim.

"I seen lights and I walked outside and people have guns in my face, talking about, 'get on the floor; put your hands behind your head,'" said Jaycup Lopez, one of the many detained and let go.

Lopez, who lives at the home, said there was no violence at the house and does not know the victim. He said they were celebrating his brother's 21st birthday and claimed they had no idea they were wanted for questioning.

"If they were trying to get us out of the house, we got a doorbell," Lopez said. "They could of rang it."
