• Gwinnett County family traumatized after swatting incident on Christmas Eve (41nbc.com) — A Gwinnett County family living near Duluth is reeling after heavily armed officers surrounded their home on Christmas Eve in what police now suspect was a dangerous ‘swatting’ hoax. Responding to a false 911 report of a woman held at gunpoint, officers traced the call to the family’s address, detained the homeowner, and later left once they confirmed no crime had occurred, while the investigation continues.
