With guns drawn, police in tactical gear surrounded a two-story house and removed several residents, at least one in handcuffs.
Domino's Pizza's mobile app was used to send a message about a hostage situation this week, leading police to swarm a house in San Diego.
A message sent via Domino's mobile app warning of a hostage situation in San Diego appears to have been a swatting.. But while several residents were removed from the two-story home, officers determined none knew of a hostage situation. In the U.S., swatting can be prosecuted through federal criminal statutes, including obstruction of justice, thanks to a bipartisan bill passed in Congress in 2015. In California, those making false reports additionally bear the"full cost" of the response, which can reach $10,000.
