No kidding, so is making a false report to dispatch.
Seriously if you have a problem and don't feel it can be resolved with reasonable methods, such as talking to one another in a calm manor. Then call the police, but be honest about the situation. First and foremost there's someone in the dispatch center making what amount to as triage decisions. If you call in "shots fired" there's the serious possibility resources which might well be needed else where are going to be directed to you. And you'd better have some damn good answers as to why no one else heard shots. Second, if you call in and lie while doing so, what do you think the response is going to be when you call in and do have a serious incident? Google "boy who cried wolf" for answer.
