‘Sick To My Stomach’: Taylor Greene Responds After Motorist Killed During Police Response To Bomb Threat Against Her

A motorist was killed in a car crash while Rome Police Department (RPD) officers were responding to a bomb threat at the residence of Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, officials confirmed.

The RPD informed Atlanta News First that a woman lost her life in a vehicular accident involving an officer who was addressing the incident. Georgia State Patrol reported that Tammie Pickelsimer, 66, was fatally struck in front of the officer’s vehicle, the Daily Caller reported.

Greene took to social media Monday evening on the woman’s behalf.

“I’m heartsick right now. I was just informed that an innocent woman died today in an auto accident involving a member of the Rome Police bomb squad who was responding to the threat at my home,” Greene wrote on X.

“My prayers are with Tammie Pickelsimer, her family, the officer who was injured, and the entire Rome Police Department,” she added.

“These violent political threats have fatal consequences. It’s an undue strain on our law enforcement who must treat them seriously. The officer was responding to protect my life. And now, a woman has lost her life because of this despicable act. The perpetrator of this crime has committed murder in our small community of Rome, Georgia,” she continued.

“The police shouldn’t have to respond to these threats and there should not be deaths caused at their hands. I’m so thankful for everything the Rome Police Department does to protect our city and for putting their lives on the line to do it. I’m sick to my stomach, but I’m also angry. This should have never happened and I pray it never happens again,” she added.

The post featured a video showing a man wearing what appeared to be a protective suit as he inspected a mailbox. The timestamp reveals that the footage was taken yesterday afternoon.

In her message, the congresswoman stated that police should not have to handle bomb threats like the one she reportedly received. She expressed her gratitude to the Rome Police Department (RPD) for risking their safety to respond to the alleged threat against her and to serve the community.
