Los Angeles: Singers Selena Gomez and Justin Timberlake are the latest on the list of victims of celebrity swatting.
A 911 call was received informing about violent threats at Gomez’s house on Friday.
The caller told that her father shot her mother with a gun and that her father was threatening to burn down the house, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The call was received a few hours after the false information about a break-in at Timberlake’s residence.
At Timberlake’s house, the caller said that four black men broke into the house and two shots were fired. The intruders then took off after leaving a box with red blinking lights.
The Los Angeles Police Department left for both places, but eventually found nothing.
The swatting pranks targeting Hollywood celebrities started to happen frequently since last year. Gomez and Timberlake joined the list a day after a swat call targeted Rihanna.
