NEW: An innocent Valley family had their home destroyed when Phoenix police got into an hours-long shootout with a barricaded suspect. Nearly a year later, the family says they are still trying to get financial help from the city.
Nearly a year later, the family tells ABC15 they are still trying to get financial help and reimbursement from the City of Phoenix Risk Management fund.
Unfortunately for the Williamsons, the convicted felon realized he was surrounded by officers while in their backyard. So Chacon grabbed a river rock and smashed their back patio glass. “They were like, ‘We just want you to be prepared – your home is obliterated, annihilated and completely destroyed. Nothing in your home is salvageable,” the Williamsons recounted.While the destruction of their home was disastrous, Brian and Justina say the subsequent police investigation made it worse.
So, within the mandated six-month time frame, the Williamsons filed three claims with the city, outlining all the unreimbursed costs.“It became my full-time job, trying to put our life back together,” said Justina. In the claims, they state they “will assign to the City of Phoenix any and all pending and unpaid insurance claims… and insurance funds” currently being held by their insurance company and mortgage lender.“Biggest sucker punch in the world”
