2 a.m. Tuesday morning. The Wysak family woke up to the sounds of rapid gun fire; red flashing lights played across their bedroom window and their dog Maggie barking furiously. Nothing could prepare the Wysak's for the disturbing event they were about to witness.
The Wysak family has lived in Cornwall, NY for the past 20 years, each of their three children had attended every school in Cornwall's district and have been pivotal members of St. John's Episcopal Church. Joseph Wysak, a plumber and coach of several winning boy's sports teams, said, "Cornwall has always been a quite town, we always felt safe here, that's why we raised our children here."
That same Tuesday morning the Chief of Police in Cornwall, Todd Hazard and other responding police officers holding a no-knock search warrant broke into and arrested several men on a heroin bust. The accused had around 2 million dollars worth of heroin in their rented home. Upon the arrival of the police officers, the men instantly drew weapons, and began to fire. Luckily, noone was injured and the men complied with police orders. There were transported to Orange County jail.
The rented house happened to be right across the street from the Wysak family, and throughout the months of the men selling and buying illegal substances, they never suspected a thing.
