Several outlets report that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s residence in the Washington, D.C. area becomes the target of an apparent swatting incident on Wednesday night. Local authorities in Fairfax County, Virginia say police are dispatched to Barrett’s home after receiving a call reporting suspicious gunshot-like sounds. According to reports that cite police radio traffic, dispatchers alert responding officers that a high-priority resident of the county lives at the address and warn that the report may not be authentic. Mediaite and The Hill both describe the incident in connection with broadcast dispatch audio indicating the call is treated as potentially false shortly after officers begin responding. Fox News similarly says police confirm the call and dispatch to the home in Falls Church, Virginia. Breitbart and NBC News describe the incident as an “apparent swatting” targeting Barrett’s home. Fox and Daily Mail also reference commentary from an independent journalist suggesting the situation begins with warnings that it could be a false alarm. While the reports generally describe the incident as a hoax and present it as part of a broader pattern of threats against conservatives, the consistent factual points focus on the police response, the reported “gunshots” claim, and that authorities determine the call is not authentic.
