Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft Is Latest National Republican to be SWATTED at His Home
The holiday season swattings continued into the new year with Missouri Attorney General Jay Ashcroft being the latest to report that his home was visited by police.
Most of those swatted over the past week have been Republican officials or conservative activists.
According to FOX News, the crime targets an individual by calling in a false police report for a violent crime — such as a murder, a hostage situation or other crimes that would require a greater law enforcement response — to the home of the target. The goal of the false police report is to elicit a SWAT team response by the police to the target’s home.
