Kardashian Family -- Latest Swatting Victims

The home of Bruce and Kris Jenner was swarmed by cops this afternoon, after someone placed a 911 call claiming someone was shot inside the house and armed people were still inside ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us ... police came in force to the Hidden Hills residence -- several helicopters and cops on the ground with machine guns and other weapons. We're told there were at least 15 officers on site, who locked down the entire street.

The caller said he/she was in the house, hiding in a closet.

We're told it was all a hoax and the Kardashians are now the latest swatting victims. As we first reported, Tom Cruise fell victim yesterday, when a swatter placed a 911 call to Bev Hills cops.

Law enforcement tells us the 911 caller gave an address near the Kardashian house, but cops believe the target was the Kardashian home and they went to Kris' door and told her they got a call someone was hiding in her closet.

We're told Bruce, Kris, Kylie and Kendall were all present and cops ordered them out of their house while they searched it.
