A fake 911 call about an active shooter at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach was confirmed as a swatting hoax, the second in two days at an Orange County hospital.
A false 911 report claiming an active shooter at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach prompted a police response Tuesday, but no threat was found.
Authorities confirmed the incident was a swatting hoax, a criminal act involving a false emergency call to provoke a large law enforcement response.
This marks the second such hoax at an Orange County hospital in as many days.
Police emphasized swatting is illegal, dangerous, and disruptive, and are investigating with regional partners, vowing to pursue prosecution.
No threat exists to the hospital or community.
