This is horrible. Someone called 911 and said David Hogg and his family were being held hostage by someone with an AR-15. But it was a hoax, otherwise known as ‘swatting’, which is very dangerous!
Hoax SWAT call to the home of Stoneman Douglas survivor & gun law activist David Hogg. @jweinsier reports: BSO called saying someone had taken people hostage. This was a swatting call & IS NOT TRUE. There is a major law enforcement presence at their Parkland home. @WPLGLocal10 pic.twitter.com/0dXcQc59fJ

David Hogg and his family are NOT being held hostage by someone with an AR-15.. BSO is, however, in Parkland at the family home after a hoax or swatting call.. #MSDSTRONG #neveragain

David Hogg (@davidhogg111) was not home at the time. He is currently in Washington, D.C. with his mother for an awards ceremony. @WPLGLocal10 https://t.co/11mQaAqdI4

Thankfully Hogg and his mother weren’t at home at the time. Not sure about anyone else, but give the scene has been cleared and no one was hurt, it ended well.
Look, David Hogg is most certainly an obnoxious gun-control brat. But he doesn’t deserve this – no one does. It’s sickening and extremely dangerous!
