Police were responding to swatting calls at multiple South Florida college campuses today. This caused major police and SWAT presence in those areas. The incidents began with a report of a false active shooter at Florida International University's main campus in Miami-Dade. Calls were also made at Palm Beach Atlantic, FAU, Broward College, and Indian River State College.
Hundreds of cases of swatting occur annually, with some using caller ID spoofing to disguise their number. The goal is to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to respond to an address.
Lets hope they find out who this idiot(s) is that made these calls.
