KTUE<\/a> reports on the latest incident of “Swatting” which happened in San Jose, California. Officers responded to a 9-1-1 call that claimed a home had been the target of a home invasion conducted by armed thieves.<\/p>\n

But the call ended up being bogus. It\u2019s part of a new fad called \u201cSwatting.\u201d San Jose police units converge at a house in the 200-block of North 11th Street, shortly before 5 p.m. Officers quickly deploy and duck behind cars and trees for cover, with one wearing tactical gear and pointing the business end of an AR-15 at a target. The 911 call that brought them claimed a home invasion and robbery by armed men.. But it wasn\u2019t true, it was a hoax.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just got swatted. I didn\u2019t think that would happen. But that\u2019s the reality I\u2019m dealing with,\u201d said Matt Stillman, the target of the prank call to police.<\/p>\n

He says he was inside writing code with friends when police called, asked if armed men were holding them hostage, then ordered all five people out with their hands behind their backs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This incident didn’t end like the one in Wichita where Andrew Finch was shot to death by an anxious police officer. Stillman thinks a disgruntled neighbor called in the bogus incident. <\/p>\n

\u201cCause he\u2019s a hater. And he tried to run me over with his car a couple of months ago. Wanna be a gang-banger who can\u2019t do anything with his life,\u201d said Stillman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess it’s all part of the new normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
