Frisco Swatting Targets Metcalf Amid Ongoing Tensions

Frisco police responded to a swatting incident at the home of Austin Metcalf’s family on Thursday, following a false report of gunfire that was quickly determined to be a hoax. The incident took place hours after Jeff Metcalf was escorted from a press conference held by the family of Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf at a track meet earlier this month. At the press conference, Anthony’s family, represented by the Next Generation Action Network, addressed threats and harassment received since the incident and called for an end to hostility. Police have not yet identified the person responsible for the swatting call. Karmelo Anthony remains out on bail, under house arrest, and is prohibited from contacting the Metcalf family. The events reflect ongoing community tensions and the continuing impact of the tragedy on both families.
