David Hogg’s family home was swatted on Tuesday.

Someone called the Broward Sheriff’s Office in Florida on the Parkland survivor’s home, claiming that there was a hostage situation at the house. According to the local ABC affiliate, Coral Springs Fire Rescue arrived to find that the call was a prank.
