[Warning: There are a few spoilers ahead for the Feb. 14 midseason premiere of AMC's 'The Walking Dead.']
It looks like this is the closest to the zombie apocalypse that we're ever going to get.
On Sunday night, a family in Great Falls, Montana, was enjoying a simple family activity, specifically, tuning into AMC's dystopian zombie drama The Walking Dead for the show's midseason premiere. But their wholesome night chock-full of reanimated corpses (and, in light of the date, maybe even a Valentine or two) was interrupted by an armed squad of police officers called to the scene by neighbors, who called the cops after taking the screams of characters wearing zombie gut-embroidered ponchos and the sounds of gunfire and rocket launchers for the real thing.
According to the 911 call transcript, a neighbor heard "screaming from a house about someone having a gun," which prompted the well-intentioned Samaritan to ring up the cops.
"We had a whole bunch of guys on that one," commented Great Falls Police Department Sgt. Brian McGraw, who described to local paper the Great Falls Tribune how his fellow police officers circled the residence.
But the venture turned out to be less exciting - or less dangerous - than the officers had imagined.
"We heard someone screaming from a blue house about someone having a gun," said Jim Wells, another GFPD sergeant, in an interview with ABC News. "Basically, we show up [and] we can see a TV on inside and people talking."
"We will usually hang back and observe before we make contact. The windows next to the TV were open," he added.
Accordingly, no official police report was filed regarding the actual incident after confirming that no one in the residence was harmed or in harm's way (spoiler alert: unless you're counting the very controversial fate of the Andersons, that is).
