Los Angeles County sheriff's officials are looking for the person who
called 911 and falsely reported an emergency at the Malibu home of the
Kardashians.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says it's too
soon to tell whether the reality TV stars are the latest victims of
so-called "swatting," a hoax intended to get officers, including
specialized SWAT teams, sent to a home.
Deputies who responded to the call Friday found no crime had been committed.
Kim Kardashian decried the hoax on Twitter, calling it "dangerous" and "not a joke."
Police last week responded to a false report of an
armed robbery at Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills home. In December, a boy was
arrested after police said he made calls that reported violence at the
homes of Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher.
