  "textContent": "Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of a \"swatting\" call this week, police said.\n\nFairfax County Police told FOX 5 DC that they received the call on their non-emergency line shortly after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, at Barrett's home.\n\nLocal officers coordinated with the Supreme Court Police personnel who are assigned to Barrett's home, and determined the call was a hoax.\n\n## What is swatting?\n\n\"Swatting\" is when someone reports a fake crime to law enforcement, usually something violent like a shooting, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The goal is to get law enforcement to respond to that home or place in force, like with a SWAT team.\n\nFBI officials estimated that there are hundreds of swatting calls in the U.S. annually.\n\n## Swatting investigation\n\nOfficials did not say if a suspect had been identified or arrested.",
