We know more about what may to have led to a dangerous Swatting call this week in Dothan.  Officers were called out to a home Tuesday night with the anonymous 9-1-1 caller saying a 14-year-old had been shot in the head, only to find out nothing had happened.  The teen at that address believes the caller may have been someone he plays online video games with that hacked his system and got his address.
