Another InfoWars Host “Swatted” — Guns Drawn!


InfoWars host Owen Shroyer said he was the victim of a ‘swatting‘ incident, where heavily armed police raided his home after receiving a false report of a shooting.

“Just got swatted,” Shroyer said.

“I was just swatted. I figured that this was coming,” Shroyer said in a video posted to X.

“I want to thank the Austin police, they had to do their job, and they were professional enough. The situation could have been worse. I did get handcuffed. I had to crawl on the ground, got some scrapes and some dirt on me, but it could have been a lot worse. I think they recognized what was happening relatively soon,” Shroyer continued.

“A couple of the police officers knew who I was, but they still had to do their job. The fake police report that was filed was that I had shot someone in my house. That’s obviously not true. I’m here alone. I live alone,” he added.

“It could have been a lot worse, but they did come into my house with guns drawn, probably about 12 or so officers on the scene. Tore my house up a little bit, so I’ll have to clean that up. But I want to just say this: this has got to stop. I think it’s been dozens now, dozens of people that have been swatted,” he noted.

Shroyer blamed the Democratic Party and its supporters for the series of swatting incidents against conservative figures.

“What is going on? We know what’s going on. The Democrat Party and all of their little street thugs funded by ActBlue, the stolen money from USAID, George Soros, all these different groups are behind it. They’re behind the terror attacks against Elon Musk,” Shroyer said.

Newsweek reports:

Shroyer expressed concern over the dangerous nature of swatting, warning that the practice could lead to fatalities.

Addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI, he said: “What is it going to take? Is somebody going to have to die before you actually do something? We’re dealing with a criminal organization. We’re dealing with a terrorist organization. It’s called the Democrat Party.” He added, “Someone is going to die when one of these events goes wrong.”

The conservative host said he had security footage of the incident but was hesitant to release it because of privacy concerns for his neighbors. However, he suggested that he might eventually publish some of the videos to expose what had happened.

“I’ll come out with some of the videos. I’ve got three different cameras that have captured this on video,” he said.

Shroyer called on law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to investigate what he called “Democrat terrorism,” drawing comparisons to legal battles faced by President Donald Trump and other conservative figures.

“I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support after my attempted murder and swatting incident. We are stronger together. We have God with us. We will take back our Country. God bless,” Shroyer wrote.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we will not sit idly by as conservative new media and their families are being targeted by false swatting. @DHSgov has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. We will use it to hunt these cowards down. This is an attack on our law enforcement and innocent families and we will prosecute it as such,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.

From The Post Millennial:

Multiple figures have been swatted in recent weeks, with one of the latest being InfoWars’ Owen Shroyer. Early Wednesday morning, he posted that he had been swatted. Fellow InfoWars host Chase Geiser has been swatted twice since the spate of swatting began, and others who have been swatted include radio talk show host Joe Pags, influencer Mike Engleman, Nick Sortor, Walter Curt, and Gunther Eagleman.

FBI Director Kash Patel has also vowed to crack down on those carrying out swattings, saying, “The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable. This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated.”
