CNN Contributor Erickson and Family Targeted in Latest 'SWATing' Attack: Erik Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com and a CNN political contributor, reports that he is the latest conservative to be "SWAT"ed.
Local police received a call from an individual claiming to be Erickson, stating that an accidental shooting had occurred at his home. Says Erickson, "Tonight, my family was sitting around the kitchen table eating dinner when sheriffs deputies pulled up in the driveway."
In a statement to Breitbart News, Erickson further explained:
I can say that the Sheriff's Deputy told me someone had called from my number, giving my home address, claiming an accidental shooting.
Whether or not they actually gave the number, I don't know. My actual guess is that, given how we have our number set up, someone called 911 from a blocked number and gave our home address.
