(Arlington, TX)  —  An elderly Arlington man is ok, but ticked off, after the SWAT team showed up at his home on Wednesday in response to a prank call.

Somebody called police claiming to be a 17-year-old who had just shot his parents.  The caller named an actual teenager but gave police the wrong address.  SWAT members entered the home to find 88-year-old retiree Hollis Galyen still in bed.

Mr. Galyen is steamed at the caller, but he says the officers were just doing their jobs.
