CNN —A motorist was killed Monday in a traffic accident with a police officer responding to a bomb threat at the home of Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene, authorities said.
Greene, a Republican who represents Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, said in a statement that her local police department in Rome, about 60 miles northwest of Atlanta, received the bomb threat via email.
The collision resulted in the death of the other driver, Tammie Pickelsimer, Rome Police spokesperson Kelly Madden confirmed to CNN.
The threat directed at Greene comes in the wake of multiple false threats made against various members of Congress.
“The individual responsible for this crime has effectively committed murder in our small community of Rome, Georgia,” Greene said.
