Sick pranksters SWAT the house of slain teen Texas Austin Metcalf with bogus shooting report
Briefly

Austin Metcalf became a victim of a swatting prank, where police were called to his home on false allegations of a shooting. This occurred shortly after his father's tumultuous appearance at a press conference regarding the alleged murderer, Karmelo Anthony. The stabbing incident, which left Metcalf fatally wounded, has ignited racial tensions in Frisco, Texas. As Anthony's family grapples with public scrutiny and legal challenges, they insist they faced harassment, while the community wrestles with the implications of such a violent crime and its aftermath.
Witnesses said Mecalf tried to shove Anthony out of his school's tent during a rain delay when Anthony pulled a blade from his backpack and stabbed him in the heart. His mother, Kala Hayes, said during the Thursday press conference that her family is 'under attack.'
Police in Frisco, Texas, described the incident as 'swatting,' a prank in which someone reports a fake crime to get cops to swarm the victims' home.
