LAPD storms Clint Eastwood’s home after prank emergency call

Quote
Tough guy Clint Eastwood has joined the ranks of Ashton Kutcher, Miley Cyrus and many other celebs as the latest victim of a prank known as “swatting.”

A law enforcement source told TMZ that a 911 call sent multiple units rushing to Eastwood’s Los Angeles home this week.

The prank call reported that multiple males armed with assault weapons were inside the actor’s home and people had been shot.

When LAPD arrived at the scene they found the emergency at Eastwood's home was made up. They were unable to determine if anyone was home at the time of the prank.

Earlier this month, a 12-year-old boy was charged with swatting Ashton Kutcher back in October. Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Simon Cowell, Tom Cruise, the Kardashians and Chris Brown have also been victims of the dangerous prank.

The LAPD have appealed to members of the public to stop the pranks as it is dangerous and is wasting police resources.

A law enforcement source told the gossip site, "The suspects WILL be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Eventually a conservative will be killed. and then this tactic will be commonplace.
Swatting is not a prank. It is attempted murder.

Charge the little "yutes" as adult with some SERIOUS prison time.

Potential is that the police will get so many calls they will ignore or be slow to respond to the real thing. Then the cops get their butt in a sling for not responding right away.

Mr.Mannn is so right here this is not a prank call to have 10 pizzas delivered to a friend, calling the utilities co. to have all power cut off from a home, this is a call to have dozens of armed men and woman come barging into a home, things can get interesting if the home owner is armed themself.   Somewhere down the line a small child will be killed in all the confusion, mistakes happen to us all.

California, intruder broke into a home and the husband held him at gun point, wife called 911.  Cops show up, see the homeowner with the gun and shot him dead.  All that confusion and the burglar was able to slip away.

It only takes one time for this to happen when the cops are needed elsewhere and I hope they catch who is responsible and jail them
