Hoax Shooting Call Targets Gordon Ramsay's LA Mansion

Gordon Ramsay's Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles was surrounded by armed police after a hoax call falsely reported a shooting at his property, an incident authorities quickly identified as swatting. Swatting, which involves making fake emergency calls to provoke a heavy police response, has been on the rise in the U.S., particularly targeting celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Aniston, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Tom Cruise. Ramsay was not home during the incident, and neighbors confirmed there was no disturbance. Law enforcement is investigating the source of the call, but no arrests have been made so far. The prank highlights a troubling trend where perpetrators seek to create chaos at the homes of high-profile individuals, sometimes with dangerous consequences.
