Police investigating ‘swatting’ call directed at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s home

Summary by Ground News

Authorities say they are investigating a 911 call that claimed a shooting was taking place at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) home early Wednesday morning. The Rome Police Department in northwest Georgia said in a statement that officers responded to a 911 call at 1:03 a.m. claiming an individual was shot multiple times at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's home. Officials said they received a second call from the suspect, who was using a computer-generated voice, saying they were upset about Greene's view on transgender youth rights. The lawmaker has been an outspoken opponent of transgender rights and last week introduced a bill to make gender-affirming care a felony.
