Armed police stormed UFC star Sean O'Malley's home after false 'swatting' report that he had murdered his parents and was an active shooter

UFC star and current bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley revealed armed police stormed his home after a false 'swatting' report that he had murdered both of his parents and was an active shooter. 

O'Malley was live streaming himself playing a video game when the cops entered his street and immediately got his attention.  

O'Malley said he went outside where he was forced to put his hands behind his head. Because he was not armed the cops allowed him to walk on his own to the back of a squad car in handcuffs while they investigated the situation. 

Swatting is when someone falsely calls in a crime to the police alleging another person has committed a violent act. 

Making such false reports is a crime by itself.
