ROME, Ga. (AP) A motorist was killed as police responded to a bomb threat at the Georgia home of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, authorities said.
A police officer on the local bomb squad was traveling to the scene when he collided with another car on Monday, Rome police said in a statement. Greene identified the woman killed as Tammie Pickelsimer.
The emailed threat which warned of a pipe bomb in Greenes mailbox and referenced Palestine was sent to the assistant police chief. That touched off the police response, Greene said on social media. The source of the email was traced to a Russian internet address, she added.
It was the latest instance of a crime known as swatting in which false threats are made to draw first responders to her home, Greene said. She said it has happened to her at least nine times.
