Garcelle Beauvais had a terrifying situation blow up at her Los Angeles home over the weekend ... after someone made a bogus 911 call claiming there was a man with a weapon at the actress' Los Angeles home.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... on Sunday night, police received a call for a possible assault with a deadly weapon and shots fired. We're told the caller claimed he was Garcelle's ex-boyfriend, and said he was armed with a sawed-off shotgun.
When officers arrived at the scene, the caller was still on the phone, but they refused to meet cops. After searching the property, police found no evidence of a crime and determined the incident was a "swatting."
What makes the situation even more frightening ... sources connected to the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star tell us she was home alone when cops arrived. With no context of what was going on, she found the entire ordeal extremely scary.
As you know ... a "swatting" incident is where callers report bogus crimes to trigger a large law enforcement response.
We're told this is the second time Garcelle has been swatted at her L.A. home -- the first occurred last summer -- and she finds this deeply concerning. Our sources say she is now with family and working towards next steps on how to prevent this from happening again.
