It sounds like they called the police, that is not swatting. Swatting is a specific tactic where you abuse the minimal training and disposition to violence of US police forces to attempt to murder people by reporting that they’re armed and/or threatening violence.

The difference is the intent - the intent of swatting is terrorism and murder.
