welcome back. police say an incident review is under way, after police in frisco, texas, drew guns on a couple heading to a basketball tournament with their sixth grade son and nephew inside the car. a frisco officer ran the car s plates as being from arizona instead of arkansas, leading police to believe it was stolen and prompting a high-risk stop. police apologized this week, saying in a statement, we made a mistake. cnn s camila bernal joins me from los angeles. what more are you learning? reporter: fred, so this is, of course, a horrible case for everyone involved. what the officer in this case is saying is that she saw a black dodge charger as they were coming out of the hotel. she ran that license plate. the problem here is that there were arkansas license plates. so instead of putting ar for arkansas, she types in az for arizona. so once she gets that information back, it shows the
car as possibly being stolen, and that s what then leads to this high-risk traffic stop. and as you see in the video, there s at least one officer with the gun drawn. they are telling the people inside of the car to keep their hands out, to get out of the car. there are multiple police officers that then come to help the initial officer that put in the call. then they begin to ask this mother, who is actually behind the wheel it was a mother, her husband, her sixth grade son and their nephew in the car. it s the mother who was initially interrogated, asked about what she was doing, where they were going. she tells them, we re here for a basketball tournament. she s very confused and says that everything essentially is okay, that she has or believes she has a registration in order, everything in order. she doesn t believe she s done anything wrong. and then the officers here tell her to be careful, especially
may get shot, so be careful. do not reach in the car. i have okay. reporter: dem etr ia heard was behind the wheel. in the car were her husband, son, and nephew. my baby. reporter: they were on their way to a basketball tournament. she explains what it was like to see her sixth grade son involved. they actually bring him in, cuff him, and put him in the car. they re walking him to put him in the police car. and i m already have been i m crying, hyperventilating. thank you. reporter: she says they were instructed not to move. do not move. my husband explains to me that my nephew is in there literally screaming for his life, and telling him uncle, we are about to die. reporter: but finally the officer made a mistake on the plate. reporter: the officer realizes it was a mistake. a-r, it s arkansas. reporter: an incident review is now under way. i m not justifying anything i m saying like it wasn t a computer that read it, it was
