The 911 call that sent police and ambulances to the offices of a Montreal gaming company on Friday was a hoax, police sources have confirmed.
Dozens of police officers, some of them heavily armed, arrived outside one of the buildings used by Mile End Ubisoft — at the corner of St-Laurent Boulevard and St-Viateur Street, a neighbourhood in the central Plateau-Mont-Royal borough — around 1:30 p.m. ET. Ambulances were also at the scene.
Specialized tactical officers evacuated the building. But no threat was detected and no one was injured, police say. They say the operation began in response to a 911 call, now deemed a hoax, earlier in the afternoon.
The specifics of the hoax remain unclear.

Swatting should be tried as attempted murder.

And even when there is reporting, in nearly every case where it turns out the shooting was questionable or outright unjustified that reporting concerning the incident is often not accurate. I don't know what the rates of unjustified shooting are, but they seemingly happen more often than they should. And if there has been one which wasn't initially covered up, I missed it.
I have a 100 justified shootings for every unjustified shooting. Go for unjustified shootings without consequence and your case grows thinner than union skin. Data please.
