Police swarmed the home of high school shooting survivor and gun safety advocate David Hogg after prank phone call
The home of David Hogg, a survivor of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was "swatted" on Tuesday after a prank phone call told law enforcement there was a hostage situation at the residence.
Swatting occurs when a prank phone call is made to induce a large response from law enforcement to a particular address.
Hogg has been in the national spotlight for fervently calling for gun reform ever since the shooting at his high school in February that left 17 people dead, and his efforts have drawn both praise and criticism.
