It’s rare to see the words “Chris Brown” and “victim” together. Police swarmed the Los Angeles home of Chris Brown after receiving a prank 911 call involving a domestic incident. The 911 caller allegedly said a mother and father were in a fight and the father went into another room to get a gun. The caller gave Brown’s address, though reportedly never mentioned Brown’s name. Brown was not home at the time. Police say the rapper is the latest victim of “swatting,” or prank 911 calls at celebrities’ homes. On Friday, someone falsely reported a man with a gun at the home of Kris and Bruce Jenner.
