Authorities in New York, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. are trying to find the culprits who targeted two Republican members of Congress with prank emergency calls to their homes on Christmas day, a type of criminal harassment known as “swatting.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, (R., Ga.) and Representative Brandon Williams (R., N.Y.), both said they were the victims of swatting on Monday. Police in Rome, Ga., identified the call to Greene’s home as fake, and did not send officers, but law enforcement did arrive at Williams’s home.

The purpose of a swatting call is to get police SWAT teams to swarm a victim’s home.

The Rome Police Department told the Associated Press that a man in New York called a Georgia suicide hotline on Monday morning claiming that he had shot his girlfriend at Greene’s home and was going to kill himself. But the hotline call takers recognized Greene’s address and notified police, who confirmed with Greene’s security detail that there was no emergency.

“I was just swatted. This is like the 8^th time. On Christmas with my family here,” Greene said on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday morning. “My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this”:

A police spokesman confirmed to the AP that Greene has been a swatting victim several times in the past, and that authorities have responded to false shooting calls and fake calls about dead bodies in the bathtub and in other locations at the representatives’s home.

The Cayuga Sheriff’s Office in New York also confirmed that it had received a false report of a shooting at Williams’s home. Williams, a tech entrepreneur who represents a district in central New York, said on X that his home was swatted on Monday afternoon, and that five sheriff’s office and state patrol cars arrived there. The law enforcement officers were “polite, professional, & prompt,” the representative said on X.

“They left with homemade cookies and spiced nuts! Merry Christmas everyone!” he wrote.

Williams added that local authorities and the Capitol Police are investigating the call:
