Georgia State Senators Targeted by Swatting Calls
In a concerning series of events, multiple Georgia officials were targeted by swatting calls over the holiday season. State Senators Kay Kirkpatrick and John Albers, who represent parts of Cherokee County, were among those affected.
Swatting is a form of criminal harassment, where a false emergency is reported at someone's home. In both cases, law enforcement responded swiftly to the alleged threats, only to find the calls were hoaxes. The incident has raised serious concerns about the misuse of emergency services and public safety.
Both Kirkpatrick and Albers expressed their frustration at the misuse of law enforcement resources, with Albers warning that those responsible would be held accountable. This follows similar incidents targeting other state officials, including Senator Clint Dixon and U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Authorities urge the public to refrain from such dangerous activities and are working diligently to trace these calls.
