Re: Alleged prank 'swatting' call turns deadly with fatal police shooting of man in Kansas [telecom]

Bill, thanks for the explanation above. I found a later news article where it explains that "a distraught-sounding man called the security desk at Wichita City Hall and gave that address - the Finch family home - to report the fake hostage situation, according to an audio recording of the 911 call"

So it would appear the initial call was to City Hall, which was then transferred to a 911 dispatcher.
