HOAG Hospital that shoots false alarm? Police respond to 'emergency' seems to be a call

Newport Beach police responded to an alleged ‘shooting’ and reports of an active shooter at Hoag Hospital on Tuesday, October 7, but upon their arrival they found no sign of distress. Police are now investigating whether the 911 emergency case is a “swat” call. The Newport Beach police department said in a statement that police swept through the Hoag Hospital, but found no evidence of an active shooting. The Newport Beach Department of Police said officers were sent to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach after a report from gunfire. The department said the “officers arrived immediately and conducted a thorough investigation into the facility. It was determined that the report of a shooter was unfounded and part of a ‘swatting’ incident.” “Swating calls are illegal, dangerous and disruptive,” Newport Beach police said in a post on X. False emergency calls can place after emergencies, which often report a (false) serious, continued crisis at a specific place. ” “The Bok of ‘Swatting’ is to provoke a significant response to law enforcement, to create chaos and possibly in violence.”
