The call is said to have followed a dispute between two online gamers playing first-person shooter Call of Duty.
Police have reportedly made an arrest after a hoax emergency call led to an unarmed man being shot dead in a so-called "swatting" incident.
Los Angeles Police detained 25-year-old Tyler Barriss, according to NBC News, after officers more than 1,300 miles away in Kansas fatally shot 28-year-old Andrew Finch.
The arrest comes after police said a prankster had lured officers to a house in the city of Wichita on Thursday.
