Hacker Break Into 911, Sends SWAT Team On Fake Call

I don't know whether to laugh or cry: Man accused of hacking into 911

SWAT officers expected to find a victim shot to death, drugs and a belligerent armed suspect when they surrounded the home of an unsuspecting couple, but found they were only a part of a false emergency call caused by a teenager who hacked into the county’s emergency response system, authorities said.

As officers swarmed the home with assault rifles, dogs and a helicopter, a Lake Forest couple and their two toddlers inside their home slept unsuspectingly.

On March 29 at 11:30 p.m., authorities allege, Randall Ellis, a 19-year-old from Mukilteo, Wash., hacked into the county’s 911 system from his home and placed a false emergency call, prompting a fully armed response to the home of an unsuspecting couple that could have ended tragically.

On the surface it's kind of comical until you spend a second and think about it. This idiot could have gotten the homeowners shot, the toddlers without a parent(s), and a SWAT team member with unbearable guilt for the rest of his life.

They should put this idiot away for 20 years.
