Marine City police respond to swatting incident downtown

Shortly after this report police confirmed it was a false report and there was never any danger to the community.  Just before 6:20 p.m. Sunday evening police were called to a building in downtown Marine City, for a person claiming to have taken hostages.  After about two hours of investigating, and further phone calls where the caller claimed to have killed one of the hostages, police concluded that the incident was likely a "swatting" call.
