Overview

• Police responded Monday after a caller falsely claimed Ramsay had shot relatives, was armed with a black revolver, and was using heroin.
• Officers found no evidence of violence at the Bel Air residence and spoke with a personal assistant, as Ramsay was not home and was reported to be overseas.
• Authorities have classified the episode as a swatting hoax and say the case remains under investigation with no arrests announced.
• The same address was targeted in April by a separate hoax report that also prompted a heavy police response and resulted in no injuries.
• The repeat targeting underscores a broader trend of swatting against high-profile figures, a dangerous tactic that has led to serious harm in past cases.
