Overview

• Frisco Police confirmed a swatting hoax at the home of Jeff Metcalf, father of slain high school athlete Austin Metcalf, on April 18.
• The swatting call falsely reported gunshots at the residence, prompting a large police response; no one was home at the time of the incident.
• The hoax occurred minutes after Jeff Metcalf was escorted out of a press conference hosted by representatives of Karmelo Anthony's family in Dallas.
• Karmelo Anthony, charged with the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a track meet on April 2, remains under house arrest after posting a reduced $250,000 bond.
• Both families have reported ongoing harassment, threats, and misinformation, exacerbating tensions as the case continues to draw national attention.
