Missoula Police and University of Montana Police respond to University Villages after a report of a hostage situation but now say they were "swatted."

“Generally speaking, what I've seen in past is someone calls in a fake police report with the intent to initiate a SWAT team response. It's very uncommon,” said University of Montana Police Captain Ben Gladwin.

Police say they received a call with a specific address about a threatening situation but the call appears to be fake.

Here's where it all started. Jamie Greenwood, a resident at the University Villages, uses a popular site called Twitch. It's a chatroom she uses to broadcast herself playing the game Minecraft. She's become so popular that people log onto her chatroom just to watch her play, and interact with her.

She says Tuesday afternoon she got a message from a random user in her chatroom telling her to look outside. The next thing she knew police were at her door.

“I was asked to step outside and cops were surrounding my house. They were everywhere with guns drawn and it was creepiest thing I've seen in my life,” Greenwood says.

She tells us an unknown person using her chatroom told police she was making bombs and had a hostage in her apartment.

Police soon realized it was a prank. They do not have a suspect at this time, but say whoever called 9-1-1 could face a charge of filing a false police report. Police say swatting is extremely rare in Missoula.
