Two Republican House Members were swatted on Christmas Day. Someone called 911 around 2 pm and reported a shooting at Rep. Brandon Williams’ house. Fortunately, police were able to quickly discredit the call.
U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams was the victim of a “swatting” incident on Christmas Day, Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck told The Citizen…
However, officers quickly confirmed the incident to be false, Schenck continued. His office believes the report was made to solicit an immediate response from law enforcement, a crime known as “swatting.”
Rep. Williams thanked the police for their handling of the incident and said he sent them away with homemade cookies.
Our home was swatted this afternoon. Thanks to the Deputies and Troopers who contacted me before arriving.
They left with homemade cookies and spiced nuts! Merry Christmas everyone!
