A woman is dead after police in Georgia received an email from a Russian IP address claiming the sender had left a pipe bomb in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s mailbox.

A police officer responding to the scene hit another car, killing its driver, the Republican congresswoman confirmed on X.

“I’m heartsick right now,” Greene wrote.

The Rome Police Department’s assistant chief of police received an email Monday with the subject “For Palestine” that said the sender had created a pipe bomb using “a 1x8-inch threaded galvanized pipe, end caps, a kitchen timer, some wires, metal clips and homemade black powder.”

2. LE over-responds

A phone call, stay away from your mailbox would suffice for the xtra 5 minutes it would take to send a squad car. I mean there are thousands of these swat hoaxes, no need to make them worse with self-forced errors.
