At least nine Indiana lawmakers have faced intimidation and swatting threats following President Donald Trump’s campaign to have the state’s congressional districts redrawn before the 2026 midterms.
Indiana state Senator Andy Zay confirmed to FOX59 that he was targeted with a bomb threat on Thursday.
According to the Columbus Police Department, a shooting was falsely reported at the home of state Senator Greg Walker (R) on Friday.
Fox 59 reported that the Indiana State Police was instigating swatting incidents against seven other Republican lawmakers.
State Senator Kyle Walker (R) said he was threatened with violence at his home, and state Sen. Greg Goode (R) was also targeted after Trump singled him out on his Truth Social platform.
“I want to be clear: I strongly condemn these acts, which have no place in our political process,” Zay said in a statement. “While the intent behind these intimidation threats seems to be to instill fear in public officials, I can assure my constituents that I remain committed to serving our district, being your voice, and continuing my work at the Statehouse.”
FBI Special Agent in Charge Timothy O’Malley told FOX59 that “whoever’s responsible for this is going to be very sorry.”
