By Andrea Nakano, CBS San Francisco: PLEASANT HILL (KPIX) — A quiet Pleasant Hill community became the center of a massive police operation as authorities received a call about a possible murder. As it turned out, it was anything but that. About an eight-block area off Geary Road in Pleasant Hill was locked down Thursday morning as officers with guns zeroed in on a house where the incident occurred. The homeowner, who wants to remain anonymous, tells KPIX the report came in as a murder but, he says, this a case of swatting. On a police scanner traffic recording you can hear "There is a child on the line saying his dad just shot his mom and dad's there … has a pistol. There is blood all over mom's right neck … in the living room."
