Gordon Ramsay has become the latest celebrity caught up in the disturbing trend of swatting, after his Bel Air home was suddenly surrounded by police on Tuesday night. According to reports from TMZ, the 58-year-old chef’s property was the scene of a major emergency response, triggered by a prank call falsely claiming there was a gunman on site.
The LAPD confirmed they received a call at 8.40pm from someone reporting an active shooter at the Hell’s Kitchen star’s LA mansion. Officers rushed to the scene, but quickly discovered it was a hoax. There were no signs of a disturbance, and neighbours confirmed that nothing had happened.
