Rep. Shontel Brown was targeted in a swatting attempt at her home, which was condemned by her and her colleagues. Swatting, a dangerous practice, involves making false emergency calls to law enforcement, putting the targets at risk. Senator Rick Scott called for the passage of a bill to prevent such incidents.
The goal of every cowardly ‘swatting’ is to terrorize the targets and get someone hurt. It’s time we pass my bill and keep it from happening once and for all. https://t.co/p3O7nEBzKp
I am upset to hear my friend and colleague Rep. Shontel Brown was the latest victim of a swatting attack, and I am thankful she was not home at the time and is safe. There is no excuse for attacking someone in their home by wasting resources of law enforcement on a false call. https://t.co/pNoX7gQBgL
