A woman is dead following a “tragic chain of events” that began with a bomb threat against Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene at her Rome home, police said.

    Seems like it would’ve been better to call Marjorie to tell her not to open her mailbox instead of rushing to the house at speed.

      Given that it’s MTG, the first thing she would probably do after being told not to open her mailbox would be to open her mailbox. Not that I’m saying it’s a bad plan.

      The article says it was someone rushing to the bomb squad HQ, not to MTG’s house. Also it says they contacted her first and she wasn’t home.

          They believed there was a bomb in the mailbox. If she lives in a neighborhood that’s still potentially near other people. My mailbox is on a sidewalk that folks use from time to time.
