U.S. Senator Rick Scott of Florida revealed on social media that his family residence in Naples was the target of an attempted swatting on Thanksgiving Day.
"I appreciate the swift action by the Naples Police Department that kept my family safe during this foolish act," Scott posted.
Swatting incidents have become increasingly common and pose serious risks to victims and first responders due to the deceptive nature of the calls.
This event highlights the ongoing threat of swatting against public figures and the importance of vigilant law enforcement responses.
