Anderson Cooper, the CNN anchor and host of AC 360, was "swatted" on Tuesday night, making him one of the first East Coast victim of the Hollywood craze. "Swatting" involves anonymous 911 prank callers reporting false violent accusations or other dangerous offenses at another person's address. Authorities dispatch an immediate response to the "victim's" home.
