‘Defund the Police’ Alyssa Milano calls police on neighborhood kids
(NY Post) A weekend 911 call to the California home of actress and “Defund the Police” supporter Alyssa Milano sparked a massive emergency response — over what turned out to be someone shooting at squirrels with an air gun.
Seven Ventura County sheriff’s vehicles, a K-9 unit, a police helicopter and a Los Angeles Fire Department unit descended on the “Charmed” star’s SoCal sprawl Sunday morning, according to the Daily Mail.
“We first noticed the helicopter circling overhead very low and knew something was going on, it’s usually such a quiet community,” one neighbor of Milano’s told the outlet. “Then we saw all the police cars parked in front of Alyssa’s home. They had their guns at the ready and seemed very serious.”
A neighbor made the initial call to 911, and Milano’s talent-agent husband, Dave Bugliari, followed up, according to authorities and a statement issued by Milano.
“On Sunday morning as we were all getting ready to watch the Giants game, our neighbor spotted ‘a man dressed in all black, walking in the woods between our properties with a gun,’” recalled Milano, 47, in the statement. “As that is a rare sight in our parts, the neighbor was understandably alarmed and she called the police.
Why didn’t they call social workers?
The couple reportedly told deputies that the sound “scared their dogs,” and that responding officers should look for a man in his 40s with a long rifle.
After a roughly three-hour search, cops concluded the culprit was just shooting an air gun at squirrels.
