1月15日,白宫接到电话称其官邸发生火灾,有人被困在里面。 接到电话后,多个应急小组赶到现场,但他们很快意识到这是一场虚惊。 此类事件被称为“swatting”,即恶作剧者拨打 911,并谎称正在进行中的犯罪事件,以引诱急救人员前往特定区域。 近年来,此类骗局变得越来越普遍,针对乔治亚州众议员马乔里·泰勒·格林、纽约州众议员布兰登·威廉姆斯、佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特、波士顿市长米歇尔·吴等公众人物。 甚至像乔纳森·特利(Jonathan Turley)这样的法学教授和像约翰·保罗·麦克伊萨克(John Paul Mac Issac)这样的笔记本电脑维修店老板也成为了类似恶作剧的受害者。 总统乔·拜登目前正在前往费城参加一家食品银行的服务活动,但在报道的紧急情况期间并未出席。 目前尚不清楚是谁拨打了这些虚假电话。

The White House was 'swatted' on Monday, after a person called 911 to falsely claim that there was a fire at the residence and that someone was trapped inside.

Multiple vehicles from DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded just after 7 a.m. ET, after which officials concluded that it was a false alarm.

And while no cops were involved, "it’s in the same spirit" of "swatting" incidents that have more recently targeted public officials, according to Noah Gray, communications director for DC fire and EMS, NBC News reports.

In so-called swatting incidents, someone makes a false report of a crime in progress to draw police to a certain location.

It's unclear who made the call or where it came from. A Secret Service spokesperson said any fire at the White House would have been immediately detected — and there clearly wasn’t one.  

President Joe Biden was at Camp David when the call to 911 was made. He later traveled to Philadelphia to participate in a service event at a food bank to mark the birthday of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

In recent weeks, politicians from both parties have been 'swatted' - including 'Georgia Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, whose home was raided by authorities on Christmas Day following a suicide hotline tip, New York Rep. Brandon Williams and Florida Sen. Rick Scott. on the Republican side,' (per the NY Post), and on the Democrat side - Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, George Soros, and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, who booted Donald Trump from the state's 2024 ballot last month.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley was also swatted recently, as was the Hunter Biden laptop repair store owner, John Paul Mac Issac.
