Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home was “swatted” on Wednesday, according to newly released audio.

Washington, D.C.-based independent journalist Andrew Leyden posted audio on Thursday from a reported 911 call.

He wrote, “Police responded to a call for the sound of gunshots at the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett last night, but quickly realized it was a swatting call and cleared after meeting with her security detail. This is partial police audio, redacted pursuant to media reporting guidelines on coverage of swatting incidents.”

During the call, the dispatcher tells police the location has 24-hour security coverage for a “high priority resident of the county.” Barrett lives inFairfax County, in northern Virginia.

“Units responding to suspicious noise. Be advised, we have not been able to get an answer on callback to the complainant’s phone number. Unknown if it’s going to be a swatting situation,” the dispatcher said.

In other words, whoever made the 911 call in the first place was not answering when the dispatcher tried to confirm its validity.

A police officer can later be heard telling dispatchers, “Just made contact with security that’s on scene. They should be outside in an Explorer. He said he hasn’t heard anything. We’re just going to meet up with him first, just to go over anything. “

The practice known as “swatting” involves an individual placing a call to police or emergency response authorities generally reporting a violent scene. The idea is to have armed, uniformed law enforcement officers swarm over the target property — and create the possibility that an innocent person could beinjured or killedin a tense situation.
