Nikki Haley was swatted twice within days amid ‘spike’ in threats to officials

Police responded to fake calls targeting Republican presidential candidate, along with several other high-profile politicians

Nikki Haley was targeted by a second swatting" attempt on New Year's Day - just two days after authorities responded to a similar call regarding Haley, according to Reuters.

This time, the call was made by someone who said Haley's daughter had been shot and was lying in a pool of blood. The caller, who told police her name was Rose, also said she was on the phone with Haley, who was threatening to shoot herself.
