Marjorie Taylor Greene's home targeted in second swatting call, police say

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Georgia home was the target of a second swatting call early Thursday morning, authorities said. Swatting is designed to unnecessarily lure a large, armed police presence to a home. 

The Rome Police Department said in an incident report that at around 2:53 a.m., police received a 911 call "about a male possibly shooting his family members and himself at the home of Marjorie Greene." 

The call came in as if it had been made from a suicide crisis center, but it actually came from an internet chat, police said. The suicide chat line that was used by the suspect could not be tracked because the suspect used a virtual private network (VPN).
