The incident of Swatting in Georgia at the home of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene leads to a fatal car accident

Making an apparent phone call to the north Georgia home of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., left a woman dead following a car accident involving local police.

Greene took to social media on Monday to report that he had received a bomb threat against his home. The congressman said the assistant chief of the Rome Police Department received threats via email, which led to a bomb squad being sent to his home.

Greene says this isn’t the first time he’s been called on the phone since being elected to Congress, noting that he’s “lost at least nine times.”

Calling involves alerting 911 of a false threat to a particular location or person, which prompts a police response and can divert resources from real crimes or threats.
