Amy Coney Barrett has been targeted in a chilling swatting scare, with police rushing to her home over reports of gunfire.
Police approached the Supreme Court justice’s heavily secured Virginia home on Wednesday night with the understanding that the report could be a false alarm, according to independent DC journalist Andrew Leyden.
‘Units responding to suspicious noise,’ a dispatcher was heard telling officers over the radio. ‘Be advised, we have not been able to get an answer on callback to the complainant’s phone number. Unknown if it’s going to be a swatting situation.’
