A woman died after a car accident following a police response to an apparent swatting call at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's home in north Georgia.

On Monday, Greene announced on social media that she had received a bomb threat directed at her home. The Rome Police Department's assistant chief received the threat via email, which led to the dispatch of a bomb squad to her residence.

Greene has been "swatted at least nine times" since being elected to Congress, as she stated.

A swatting call is a false threat alert to a specific location or person, which leads to a police response and diverts resources from real crimes or threats.

Greene stated that the email's origin was traced to a Russian IP address, and her office will collaborate with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI, to apprehend the offender.

A deadly traffic incident occurred involving one of Rome's police officers while they were responding to Greene's home.

"On Monday, December 9th, a Rome Police Department officer was heading to join the Bomb Squad on a call when he got into a traffic accident on Redmond Rd near Walmart. This incident has caused significant delays in the area around the Norfolk Southern Railroad Tracks."

Greene stated that she was "devastated" by the fatal accident, which she claimed resulted in the death of a woman and the injury of a police officer.

An innocent woman died today in an auto accident involving a member of the Rome Police bomb squad who was responding to a threat at her home.

"The violent political threats have dire consequences, putting an excessive burden on our law enforcement who must take them seriously. An officer was responding to protect someone's life, but now a woman has lost her life due to this vile act. My thoughts are with Tammie Pickelsimer, her family, the injured officer, and the entire Rome Police Department."

Throughout her updates, Greene accused the perpetrator of the call of committing murder, appearing visibly angry.

She expressed her anger and frustration, stating that she was nauseated and hoping the situation would never occur again.

She thanked Rome PD for safeguarding the city and risking their own safety.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Planet Chronicle Digital has reached out to Rome police for comment.
