Hoax Bomb Threat at Marjorie Taylor Greene's Home Leads to Fatal Car Accident

A police officer responding to a false bomb threat at the congresswoman's Georgia home collided with another vehicle, killing a 66-year-old woman.

An emailed bomb threat targeting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Georgia home was sent to the Rome Police Department and traced to a Russian IP address.
The threat falsely claimed a pipe bomb was placed in Greene's mailbox, prompting a bomb squad response that later confirmed no danger at the scene.
While en route to Greene's home, a bomb squad officer driving a personal vehicle was involved in a collision, resulting in the death of Tammie Pickelsimer, 66, who succumbed to her injuries at the hospital.
Authorities are investigating both the source of the bomb threat, with involvement from the FBI, and the circumstances of the fatal traffic accident, led by Georgia State Patrol.
Greene, who has been targeted by at least nine swatting incidents since taking office, condemned the hoax as a 'despicable act' with 'fatal consequences' and expressed condolences to the victim's family.
