Several FaZe Clan esports organization members were the latest victims of swatting on Thursday. Cops showed up to their house guns-drawn after receiving a 911 call regarding a double murder. TMZ Sports was told officers rushed to the streamers’ Los Angeles home around 2:30 PM PT after a man claiming to be 60 years old stated he killed his mother and brother, but someone was still breathing inside the residence.
The caller gave the operator the exact location where FaZe Clan was holding their “subathon” ( a long-term event streamers participate in to boost subscribers). Cameras were rolling when cops made it to the house, and shouting could be heard before they muted the stream. Responding officers took the call seriously because they didn’t know it was bogus. An ambulance accompanied the police as they made their way to the home. Once on the scene, cops held up their weapons as they approached the front door and called over a megaphone to have anyone inside come out one by one.
The members inside fully cooperated and were handcuffed as soon as they made it out of the house. After a search of the home, the cops found nothing out of the ordinary. They explained what had happened to the FaZe guys and then took a swatting report. Many celebrities and other streamers have been victims of swatting, usually by fans who know their addresses. However, The FaZe Clan won’t have to worry about being interrupted by the cops again. TMZ Sports learned the house has been placed on a special location list to prevent similar issues from happening in the future. The group should now be able to stream in peace.
