A home connected to the family whose 17-year-old son, Austin Metcalf, was fatally stabbed at a Frisco track meet was swatted Thursday evening.
Frisco PD said that officers responded to a gunshot call at an address, which turned out to be the home of Jeff Metcalf, Austin Metcalf's father, WFAA confirmed. Metcalf told WFAA nobody was home at the time, but he arrived five minutes later.
Swatting is a term used when fake threats are called into authorities with the expressed purpose of drumming up a large police response.
The news comes after Metcalf showed up to a press conference hosted by the parents of Karmelo Anthony, the teen accused of stabbing Metcalf's son. The press conference was delayed by 50 minutes as a result, and police escorted Metcalf out of the building without incident.
At that press conference, Anthony's mother said her family has been the target of harassment, threats and lies.
Anthony was released from jail Monday after posting bond. Judge Angela Tucker earlier in the day decided to significantly reduce Anthony's bond amount from $1 million to $250,000.
This is a developing story. This article will be updated as we learn more.
unreal — should be very painful consequences for such BS
Man these people are dispicable
“Judge Angela Tucker earlier in the day decided to significantly reduce Anthony’s bond amount from $1 million to $250,000”

Just keepin’ it real ya’ll
anyone else see the irony of this man being kicked out of their event? (tent)
only this time the no one died.
Initially, Metcalf’s father, being a believer, forgave Anthony for his crime. (He did it for himself not Anthony. You can imagine how painful it is to carry that burden)
Are there any details of Mr. Metcalf’s interactions at the press conference? I think that prolonging the pain of the parents with such displays of victim hood in unconscionable. Judge should slap a gag order on Anthony and co.
crazy how the 20% fringe are pushing so hard for a civil war.
Not a techie; is VPN and phone number spoofing technology so crazy good effective and cheap that no law enforcement anywhere can crack it and arrest these perps? Or does literally no law enforcement anywhere care to use technology and prosecute these cases? Real and heartfelt question here.
Dad is not going to let them drag his dead son’s reputation through the dirt.
Or how 13% of the population is getting more and more out of control.
Oh, the knife-like wit of those Democrats.
Burner phones are cheap.
A gag order is not happening. Anthony’s family is Black. No adverse action will be taken against them. They can do as they please. And probably will.
There are many who are not going to let that happen. The racism well has run dry, America is done with that narrative.
That’s what happens when you accuse ‘innocent’ folks of murder. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Where is the trial to be held? Will the people of Frisco who are outraged by all this have any jurors in the case?
Although actually I suppose it doesn’t matter. All they need is one Dallas idiot who is drinking all this koolaid to taint the jury pool. The prosecution can only rule out so many potential jurors, and this crap is designed to insure the whole jury pool is tainted and there are many who think it is their DUTY to lie about their exposure to the libelous claims against the victim.
Anyone who is not blind and most who are blind could see that coming. I was surprised that she did not ROR him.
How dare he have his son murdered by our saint!
And blacks continue to wonder why ever other ethnic group in America has passed them by economically and socially. You can’t keep defending and using race as an excuse for the evildoers within your own group. Just pathetic.
