Those people were clearly not the suspect. They were in their home minding their own business and got pulled out like that. Maybe this is the only house this happened to, or many 100s had this happen, we don't know, but I can't help but think how terrifying this would be for children.
But they were suspect. You just assume they aren't. You assume they are local citizens minding their own business. The police have just seen dozens killed and wounded by a bomb, a police officer shot, and someone kidnapped. They don't know if these people are local citizens or if they the bomber's friend hiding them or a terrorist cell or what they are walking into.
