HOWELL, Mich. -  Howell police car What do Ashton Kutcher, Kim
Kardashian, Wolf Blitzer and now Congressman Mike Rogers have in
common? They're all victims of swatting.  Swatting is the term
used when tips are relayed to police making them believe there
is a life death situation playing out at the person's home.  On
Saturday night, information went into police that a dangerous
situation was unfolding at the Howell home of Congressman
Rogers. Neighbors saw police respond in a big way.  "There was
actually a policeman behind my mom's car with a gun, just hiding
behind it, and there were policeman everywhere," said neighbor
Marina Norton.  The information was relayed online to
dispatchers in Livingston County. The initial report made
investigators believe the congressman's life and the lives of
others were in immediate danger.  "They say that he had shot his
spouse and that he was now suicidal and also had some knowledge
of explosives and bomb-making that he had gotten over the
Internet," said Howell Police Chie
