Police are investigating an apparent "swatting" attempt at Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Georgia home.
Police in Rome, Georgia, said in a statement that they received a 911 call at 1:30 a.m. about a subject being shot multiple times at an address in the city.
Officers responded to the scene and realized they were at Greene's home, police said. She told police that there was no evidence of shots fired in the area and that everything was fine.
Rome police determined the call was fake and an attempt at "swatting" — a type of harassment in which someone calls law enforcement with false information saying there is a threat at a person's address so that armed police show up to their home.
A second 911 call followed, this time, from the suspect who police said was using a computer-generated voice saying they were "upset about Mrs. Greene's political view on transgender youth rights."
Police said the department is now investigating the incident and the caller.
