Wisconsin homeowner Patrick Tomlinson was detained and later released after someone called 911 falsely reporting that he killed his wife, all to bring a massive police response with the SWAT team. The Milwaukee couple says they've been swatted 42 times. They're also receiving death threats over email and voicemail. Tomlinson says the nightmare started after he tweeted that he did not find the late "Saturday Night Live" comic Norm Macdonald particularly funny. Inside Edition's Sibila Vargas has more.
