Police on Sunday surrounded a Montana home after receiving 911 calls of a possible domestic disturbance — only to find the family watching The Walking Dead.
The fans of AMC’s hit zombie apocalypse show were screaming about someone having a gun, prompting concerned neighbors to alert authorities, the Great Falls Tribune reports. Several officers surrounded the house, expecting a domestic disturbance, Great Falls Police Department Sgt. Brian McGraw told the newspaper. “We had a whole bunch of guys on that one,” he said.
Instead, they found two adults and several children watching the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead. There were no reported injuries.
