“I came outside and there were weapons and weapons, rifles pointing at me,” the actress continued. “The cops were calling me to come to them, and my hands are up, and I’m screaming, ‘I’m alone, I’m the homeowner.’”
“I kept saying, ‘why am I being handcuffed I haven’t done anything,’” Garcelle added, noting the authorities told her, “it’s protocol.”
Ultimately, the LAPD told ABC News that they “found no evidence of a shooting,” and confirmed that a “swatting report was completed.”
After noting that she’s had “a lot of love and support” following the incident, Garcelle offered a warning.
“For kids or whomever think that swatting is funny, it is dangerous,” Garcelle cautioned. “It is wasteful of the police’s time and so scary. I’m just so happy my boys weren’t home.”
