French police issued a statement to “Stop Au #Swatting” after officers were deployed to investigate reports of an armed man at the University of Evry Val-d’Essonne, just outside Paris, on Thursday, March 12, turned out to be false, local media said. Reports said the university and police went into “mass killing” protocol as a precaution, but tweets from the department indicated the operation was called off after “doubt was raised by the police.” This video shows the police team outside of the university’s library on Rue André Lalande. The uploader said the authorities were responding to a “potential armed man or explosive.” Swatting is making a prank call to emergency services to bring a large number of armed police officers to a particular address.
