Adin Ross reassures fans after \u201ctraumatizing\u201d swatting incident Instagram: adinrossTwitch star Adin Ross has reassured his fans after being swatted during a live broadcast on August 7, 2022, calling the incident \u201ctraumatizing.\u201d Swatting is, unfortunately, all too common for high-profile streamers and content creators. \u2018Swatting\u2019 refers to the act of calling emergency services, usually under the pretense of immediate danger, with the goal of dispatching a large number of armed officers to someone\u2019s location. Adin Ross was the unfortunate victim of such a swatting on August 7, when a swath of officers raided his home during his ongoing broadcast. Viewers got a full view of law enforcement entering his room with guns drawn. \u201cWhatever troll did it, you did it,\u201d Adin said before ending the stream. \u201cYou officially did it. It\u2019s never happening ever again. Crazy.
