Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was the subject of another “swatting” incident for the second day in a row.
Police reportedly arrived at the Congresswoman’s Georgia home after a 911 call that came in a 2:53 a.m.
A report from the Rome Police Department stated the call was about “a male possibly shooting his family members and then himself.”
The call reportedly was made through an internet chat that was a suicide crisis hotline.
According to the report, the suspect “came out as trans-gender and claimed they shot the family” living at Greene’s address.
“If anyone tried to stop me from shooting myself, I will shoot them,” the suspect, who used the name Wayne Greene, reportedly said.
Law enforcement met Greene at her front door, and they “confirmed this was a second false report.”
However, law enforcement was unable to see the location used in the chat line because the suspect used a VPN.
Greene tweeted Thursday morning, “Swatted again last night.”
Cambridge Dictionary describes “swatting” as “the action of making a false report of a serious emergency so that a SWAT team (a group of officers trained to deal with dangerous situations) will go to a person’s home, by someone who wants to frighten, upset, or cause problems for that person.”
