Last week an individual executed a swatting call attack on Supreme Court’s Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s address in which the anonymous caller reported hearing gunshots coming from the residence.
Luckily, the local Fairfax County (Virginia) law enforcement was able to get in touch with the security team protecting the Justice and concluded this was a “swatting” incident.
At the time of this writing, the swatting call attacker’s identity remains unknown.
Swatting calls often times lead to murder of innocent people. It can conceivably be construed, that such an action taken here by the caller may satisfy the definition of attempted murder of an elected/appointed federal official.
