A hoax emergency call falsely claimed there was a hostage situation at the Florida home of gun-control activist David Hogg, leading to a search of the property this morning.
A Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) SWAT team responded to the house but found no one there.
“According to BSO, deputies received a call at around 8:30 am, saying someone broke into Hogg’s home with an AR-15 rifle and was holding the family hostage,” WSVN reported. “Deputies determined that no one was home at the time and that the call was unfounded.”
