WEBSTER, N.Y. — A swatting call led to a shelter-in-place order for neighbors on Bayway Drive in Webster around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Webster police issued the order while trying to contact the people inside the home. They say it didn’t take long to realize the call was a hoax. The homeowner says it was just a prank call and she is not worried about it.
Neighbor Jimmy Sans says the people who live in the house that was swatted are always good neighbors, and couldn’t believe someone did something like this to them.
“People got to stop doing these silly things you know thank God nobody was seriously hurt,” Sans said. “You know somebody could’ve come to the door and you never know these days you don’t know who is what’s going on in the house and things like that. I’m just shocked that it even happened here. I moved out of the city to get away from that.”
