Two swatting incidents hit Seminole County on same afternoon; no threats found

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Seminole County deputies responded to two separate swatting incidents Sunday — one targeting the Central Florida Zoo and another targeting a private residence — in what experts say is part of a growing and increasingly dangerous national trend.

Both calls were made on Sunday within roughly an hour of each other, and both were determined to be hoaxes. No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made. A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office also said that the two calls appear to be unrelated.
