A man, they were told, had been fatally shot inside a home.
Neighbors opened doors, peered out windows and watched. As many as 15 deputies, they said, drew weapons and charged the home of Lori and Curt Drew.
But there was no body lying in a pool of blood. No weapon in Curt Drew's hand.
The call was a prank, one of many at the Drews' home this year. A lawn job. A brick through a window. Threatening phone calls. Paintball attacks.
The neighborhood is angry.
Residents are struggling to understand what happened here, in two homes four doors apart.
