Atlanta’s Fox affiliate reports:
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she was a victim of a swatting attack early Wednesday morning in Floyd County. In a tweet sent shortly before 9 a.m. Wednesday, the Georgia lawmaker says that she was swatted just after 1 a.m. and promised “more details to come.”
Swatting is the act of making a hoax call to 911 to try and draw responses from law enforcement. Suspects can use technology to make it appear that the emergency call is coming from the victim’s phone and the situations it leads to can be deadly.
Greene is not the only Republican lawmaker in Georgia to say they’ve been a victim of swatting. In July, former gubernatorial candidate Kandiss Taylor said she and her family were victims of a swatting call.

Last night, I was swatted just after 1 am.
I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County.
More details to come.
