Overview

• Frisco police confirmed a swatting incident at the home of Jeff Metcalf, father of Austin Metcalf, following a false gunshot report on April 17.
• The swatting occurred just hours after Jeff Metcalf attended and was escorted out of a press conference held by the family of Karmelo Anthony, the teen accused of fatally stabbing his son.
• Karmelo Anthony, 17, remains under house arrest after posting a reduced bond of $250,000 earlier this week, pending trial for first-degree murder charges.
• Both families have reported harassment and threats, with the Anthony family addressing misinformation and safety concerns during the press conference.
• The Frisco Police Department is investigating the swatting hoax, as tensions between the families and public scrutiny over the case continue to intensify.
