An Indiana lawmaker who resisted President Donald Trumpâs push to have Republicans redraw the stateâs congressional boundaries was the victim of a swatting call Sunday that brought sheriffâs deputies to his home.
The call, in which someone reported a fake emergency at the Terre Haute home of state Sen. Greg Goode, came hours after Trump criticized the lawmaker and another state senator for their opposition to his plan. Trump has been trying to persuade Republican-led states across the country to aggressively redraw their congressional maps to help the GOP hold the U.S. House in next yearâs midterm elections.
Deputies were sent to Goodeâs home after receiving an email âadvising harm had been done to persons inside a home,â according to a statement from the Vigo County Sheriffâs Office.
âAll persons were secure, safe, and unharmed. Investigation showed that this was a prank or false email (also known as âswattingâ),â the statement said. The incident is under investigation.
