Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed sadness and anger after a bomb threat at her home led to a fatal traffic accident involving a police officer. The Rome Police Department responded to the threat at Greene’s residence, and an officer on his way to the station was involved in a collision that resulted in the death of Tammie Pickelsimer. The incident is still under investigation.
The bomb squad found no dangers at Greene’s home and turned the investigation over to the FBI. The threat was traced to a Russian IP address. Greene condemned the act, saying that these threats have serious consequences, putting a strain on law enforcement and endangering lives.
This incident comes amidst a series of bomb threats and violent threats targeting political figures, including several Democratic lawmakers and Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Greene is among those who have received such threats in recent weeks.
The FBI is currently investigating the bomb threat, but no further information has been provided. Greene expressed concern for the impact of these threats on law enforcement and the tragic loss of life in this incident. The investigation into the threat and the fatal accident continues.
