The call was reported at around 11:15 a.m. on Tuesday, June 3. The caller claimed an active crime was being committed at a residence, which happened to be the Las Vegas home of FBI Director Kash Patel. Police reached out to the residence and were able to determine that it was a false call before any response was sent to the home. “Swatting” is a false reporting of an emergency with the intent of getting a SWAT team sent to a location where no emergency exists, according to public safety information. Earlier this week, the Justice Department said a Romanian citizen pleaded guilty to ‘swatting’ over two dozen U.S. Congress members and a former president.

Numerous conservative media figures were victims of swatting incidents. Conservative Influencers Targeted In ‘Swatting’ Incidents – Kash Patel Issues Statement Fox News reports: An apparent swatting call at Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s home in December turned deadly following a car accident with police. Greene at the time said she had been swatted at least eight times before the fake bomb threat. In January, lawmakers introduced a bipartisan and bicameral bill to impose "strict penalties" for people who make swatting calls, including up to 20 years in prison if someone is seriously injured or killed in an incident. "Having spent over 40 years in law enforcement, I've seen firsthand how swatting is a reckless and dangerous action that not only puts innocent lives at risk but wastes critical resources," Rep. Mike Ezell, R-Miss., said in a statement in January when introducing the bill in the House. "Local and state law enforcement agencies are forced to divert their time, energy, and taxpayer dollars to respond to these false calls, taking them away from real emergencies. As someone who has been on the front lines, I understand the toll this takes on our officers and communities. That's why I am proud to help introduce the Preserving Safe Communities by Ending Swatting Act — a vital step in protecting both our law enforcement officers and the communities they serve."
