Police in North Carolina are searching for the person they say is responsible for a “swatting” call that sent authorities to a family’s home earlier this week.

The Burke County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call just before 2 p.m. Tuesday (January 4) from an individual claiming to have just shot their parents with an AK-47 at a Morganton residence, WSOC reports. While attempting to get more information, the caller reportedly told the 911 dispatcher, “I don’t know if I can take it anymore,” before ending the call.

When deputies arrived at the residence, they found that everyone inside was safe and determined that the call was an example of a dangerous trend called “swatting.”
