Swatting prank puts school on lockdown and leaves town on edge

Let’s get the big question out of the way – swatting. What it is? Those of you who are gamers and love to stream gameplay of popular titles such as DOTA2, Counter-Strike, League of Legends and so on, this word will probably fill you with dread and disgust.

What swatting basically means is someone who prank calls 911 or the streamers local cops and file a fake report such as there being a bomb or shooter in the area, or something that would cause an immediate and high powered response from a SWAT team.
