    JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri (KMOV) — Missouri Secretary of State, Jay Ashcroft, posted on ‘X’ account that his home was swatted.

“I am grateful to Jefferson City law enforcement for the professionalism with which they handled the situation,” Secretary Ashcroft further stated in his ‘X’ post.

Swatting is when a bogus emergency call is made which requires a large emergency response.
