Arizona man sentenced to prison for attacking schools and homes

McCarty live-streamed the police response, posting a message saying he found it funny, the press release added. He also victimized others by making several calls to California, the press release said.

On January 25, 2021, McCarty made fraudulent phone calls to high schools in Indiana and Oklahoma under the names of actual students at the targeted schools, claiming he was outside with an AR-15, a Glock and propane containers ready to shoot at the buildings, according to the press release.

On April 16, 2021 and May 20, 2021, McCarty used the name of a real homeowner in two calls to police where he claimed he killed his wife, would kill “everyone,” blew up the house, and had the house placed four bombs outside a retail store, according to the press release. The press release did not indicate what condition this house was in.

In 2008, the FBI identified the crash as “a simulated emergency that calls for a law enforcement response – typically a SWAT team.”
