For the second day in a row, Rome Police officers responded to a second “swatting” call at the residence of Majorie Taylor Greene. This call was received on what appeared to be a suicide crisis line from an internet chat.

The call came in on August 25, 2022 at about 0253 hours.

Officers responded once again to Mrs. Greene’s home and confirmed this was a second false report.

The Rome Police Department Criminal Investigation Division is working in conjunction with the Capitol Police on this investigation.

Police narrative:

On Thursday, August 25, 2022, at 0253 hours, Rome/Floyd E-911 received a call about a male possibly shooting his family members and then himself at (edit), the home of Majorie Greene. The male’s name that was given was Wayne Greene.  The call came in as though it was from a suicide crisis center but it was not through a phone, it was from an internet chat. The person who made the call through the chat advised that they “came out as trans-genre and claimed they shot the family”.  They also claimed “if anyone tried to stop me from shooting myself, I will shoot them.”  They also advised that “they would be waiting for us”.

Lt. Smith advised Officer Grover and I go to the location and try to make contact with Ms. Greene.  We arrived and approached the house. Officer Groover went to the front door to make contact.  Ms. Greene came to the door and we altered her with the reason we were there.

The suicide chat line that was used could not get a location due to the person(s) using a VPN.

She assured the officers there was no issue and the call was determined to be a false call commonly known as “swatting”.
