Naugatuck Police say they responded to a "swatting" incident today, meant to deliberately deceive officers and trigger an armed response.
Officers responded to Round Tree Drive around 2 p.m. after a call reporting a shooting at the address, only to discover that the call was unfounded.
The department is actively investigating this case and has condemned the "dangerous and illegal" practice of swatting.
