Nikki Haley Targeted in Two Swatting Incidents

The false emergency calls led to law enforcement responding to Haley's South Carolina home, with one incident involving her elderly parents.

Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was targeted in two swatting incidents at her home in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, with the second attempt occurring on January 1, 2024.
The first swatting incident took place on December 30, 2023, where a caller falsely claimed a man had shot a woman at Haley's home and was threatening to harm himself.
In the second incident, a caller falsely reported that Haley had shot her daughter and was threatening to hurt herself.
During the first incident, Haley's elderly parents were at home and had guns drawn on them by responding officers.
Swatting incidents, which involve making a false emergency call to dispatch law enforcement to a specific location, have been on the rise recently, targeting high-profile individuals.
