CBS Los Angeles is reporting that Bruce and Kris Jenner are possibly the victims of a “swatting” incident, in which someone falsely reports a violent crime in order to draw an armed response team to the victim’s house.
#BREAKINGNEWS A possible "swatting" incident is being reported at the Hidden Hills home of Bruce and Kris Jenner.

Tweets from daughter Kendall Jenner seem to confirm that something is indeed going on, although the 17-year-old seems typically blasé about the incident.

Sources tell us … police came in force to the Hidden Hills residence — several helicopters and cops on the ground with machine guns and other weapons. We’re told there were at least 15 officers on site, who locked down the entire street.
The caller said he/she was in the house, hiding in a closet.

Police swarmed the home of Tom Cruise Thursday after a caller reported an armed robbery in progress.
