Sunday evening was a family birthday celebration for the Reynas. It was the first time they had seen each other in over a year and the cousins were the most excited.
"They were running around the yard and they had Nerf wars," said Adriana Reyna. "They were wrestling and just enjoying family time."
It turned out someone called 911 on the family, stating there were gunshots and people fighting, according to Adriana.
Taide Pineda was one of the responding officers who said he did not see any weapons, just Nerf guns. Once they noticed what was going on, the officers quickly switched gears and made sure to ease any fears.

The 911 caller lied and should be arrested.
“The 911 caller lied and should be arrested.”
Yes.
The jerk caller was swatting kids. A real low life.
“someone called 911”
There’s a neighbor out there that needs a midnight visit.
Whoever called that one in should get their a** kicked.
You are far too kind.
I wouldn’t waste my time with a physical arrest. There are more important things to do than handcuff and book some buzzkiller Karen (sorry to all the people named Karen, that must suck for y’all right now but it will pass).
Just issue them a ROR ticket and notice to appear and stand tall before the bench and either hold a trial or plead no contest and pay a big fat fine.
911 caller should be arrested for idiocy. We they upset the kids were outside having fun?
That Karen was trying to get those kids shot, they should be thrown under the county jail.
One perpetrator was illegally armed with large capacity revolver.
I wonder if I could make any money selling yellow caution signs that say “Children Playing - With Toy Guns” for sane people to put in their yards that have easily triggered snowflake neighbors?
I have never heard "gunshots" from Nerf guns. They go kind of "Plop!" don't they?
That almost reminds me of the mini gun that Arnold fires in Terminator 2.
These Libs truly have mental problems deep mental problems to think that half of our country is honestly mental SHEEPwith not a lick of common sense, or able to mind their own damn business is damn SCAREY!!
All the ones I have ever played with go sort of pop.
Certainly there is no real loud noise and the blasters themselves tend to be brightly colored and do not resemble guns unless you are stretching definition of "look like" so far you could include leaf blowers, hair driers and Dewalt drills.
Well there’s a reason why God proscribed the death penalty for perjury when it came to the ancient times, people could literally be killed for false testimony.
If the dog had been out, it could have resulted in a tragedy. Yep, the caller needs to be charged.
Right. We have a lot of Upnorth People in this area who are always going ballistic about car engines, woodpeckers, or even actual (legal) shooting nearby ... but Nerf guns go “plop.”
Egad. I’d be tempted to organize a Backlash in this situation.
Can’t 911 get the callback number? We can on our phones.
Out here, the sheriff will report a Karen caller/swatter for making a fake 911 call-and they can be arrested, jailed and fined up to several $1000-they will also get-totally free of charge- a complete shaming and shunning by all neighbors-might even get a late night visit from the dad and uncles of those kids for an attitude adjustment-that is what needs to happen to this Karen-a city is a way more dangerous place to be swatting than out here in the country...
