Nikki Haley swatted at her South Carolina home in December: report

The South Carolina home of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was “swatted” last month after someone filed a false police report, Reuters reported.

Authorities responded after a man claimed to have shot a woman and threatened to harm himself at Haley’s home, town records obtained by the news agency reported.

The previously unreported “swatting” incident is among a wave of violent threats, bomb scares and other acts of intimidation against government officials, members of the judiciary and election administrators since the 2020 election that have alarmed law enforcement ahead of this year’s U.S. presidential contest.

This is a developing story and will be updated. Reuters contributed to this report.
