Cedar Falls Police received a call of a shooting early Wednesday morning in the vicinity of Wedgewood Drive, around 12:45AM. According to a release, an investigation determined it was a swatting call. A “swatting” is defined as an illegal prank when someone calls in a fake report to emergency services, accusing another person of a serious crime. A similar shooting call occurred in Waterloo around 1:30 at an address on Sarah Drive. That too was quickly determined as a prank call, by Waterloo Police. The two calls appear to be related but no other information is available.
