"Sheriff Derek Fell said deputies were dispatched around 5 p.m. on Sunday after Terre Haute police received an email advising harm had been done to persons inside a home, located in southeastern Vigo County. Officers struggled to make contact at first, Fell said, but eventually confirmed the residents, including the senator, were safe. Goode and his family were secure, safe, and unharmed, Fell said, adding that an investigation showed the threat was a hoax, also known as swatting."
"The incident lands amid a tense and unusually public fight over redistricting in Indiana. GOP leaders froze the process on Friday when Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray refused to reconvene lawmakers to draw new maps favoring Republicans. Earlier Sunday, Trump threatened to publish a list of GOP holdouts later this afternoon, though the promised names did not emerge."
President Donald Trump named Republican Sen. Greg Goode on Truth Social, called him a RINO and said he was very disappointed, implying Goode opposed efforts to redraw congressional maps. Goode has not publicly taken a position on the redistricting plan. Deputies responded after Terre Haute police received an emailed threat reporting harm inside a southeastern Vigo County home; officers initially had trouble making contact but confirmed residents, including Goode, were safe. Sheriff Derek Fell said the threat was a hoax and that Goode and his family were uninjured. The episode occurred amid a public GOP standoff over Indiana redistricting.
