"Nikki Haley's Home Targeted in Swatting Incident"

Authorities responded to a fake emergency at Nikki Haley's South Carolina home after a man claimed to have shot a woman and threatened to harm himself there, part of a surge in "swatting" incidents targeting government officials and election administrators since the 2020 election. The wave of threats has alarmed law enforcement, with targets including allies and rivals of former President Donald Trump. Swatting, the filing of false reports to police, is seen as a form of intimidation or harassment and has also targeted judges and prosecutors handling cases against Trump. The recent incidents follow a surge of violent threats against U.S. election workers after the 2020 election, inspired by Trump's false stolen-election claims.
