Tis the season for swatting. The latest reported victim is Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. Her home was swatted on Christmas Day.
The mayor was home at the time. Wu said she was shocked to open her door and see lots of flashing lights. She claimed, however, it didn’t disrupt her family’s evening. The police and EMS crews were responding to a call that came through on the city’s 311 information system. The caller claimed that a man had shot his wife inside that house and left her tied up next to a second man.
“For better or worse my family are a bit used to it by now, and we have a good system with the department,” she told the radio station.
It is not clear if Wu’s two young sons, whom she shares with her husband Conor Pewarski, were in the home at the time of the call.
Wu probably wants to downplay the event and act like it’s no big deal to keep her sons calm but you have…
