Fake Bomb Threat Shuts Down Georgia Town

A fake bomb threat shut down an entire Georgia town overnight, sending SWAT teams and emergency crews rushing to a historic building—only to find nothing but shattered doors and wasted resources. The hoax, made at 6:30 PM, claimed bombs, hostages, and shootings, triggering a massive response that cut power and paralyzed Main Street. Owner Phil Lott, pouring his heart into turning the 1914 McDonald House into an Airbnb, was left furious and heartbroken. Police Chief Wesley Green, with 40 years on the force, warns swatting is on the rise and vows to bring the caller to justice, urging anyone with info to come forward.
