Someone calls 911 it MUST be true. They wouldn't lie, would they? South Fulton family victims of 'swatting' call 'traumatized' by ordeal
Imagine police surrounding your house and ordering you and your kids to come out with your hands up, but you've done nothing wrong. "Swatting" is when someone makes a fake 9-1-1 call to get officers and SWAT to a specific location. The fake calls are dangerous and weigh on department resources. They're also potentially traumatizing to the unsuspecting victim.
Idiots with badges. Idiots with a 911 system. Idiots who can't be bothered to verify if the phone call was legit or faked.
How many SPAM calls have you received where the area code makes it look like a local call? I get several a week, though it has tapered off some.
At the time, Danny's wife and kids were home. He says even now they have yet to talk about what happened.
"My wife, she was shaken up. My kids were as well," he said.
Because what would a SWAT team do? Sit at home and wait for the techs to check the phone number?
At least they didn't kill anyone.
