According to law enforcement, Wayne was the victim of swatting.
“Unfortunately this appears to be a ‘swatting’ call,” the Miami Beach Police tweeted. “No victims/no injuries/no subject [present].” “Swatting” refers to a prank in which someone convinces authorities to dispatch an emergency response for a fake incident. Many celebrities have been victims of swatting, including Justin Timberlake, Tom Cruise and Miley Cyrus. (ABC News)
Wayne’s label provided an update on Wayne’s condition amid the shooting reports yesterday (March 11).
Wayne is okay. Wasn't home during alleged events.
