Gwinnett County Police are investigating two swatting calls involving the Buford home of state Sen. Clint Dixon.

The first was Christmas evening when Gwinnett County Police say they received an anonymous 911 call about a shooting and hostage situation involving an armed suspect.

A number of officers arrived to find Dixon and his wife completely unaware of what was going on. Dixon and his wife said that no one in their house had called 911. Officers discovered it was a hoax.
