A car crash killed a motorist as Rome Police Department (RPD) officers responded to a bomb threat at the home of Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to officials.

The RPD told Atlanta News First that a woman died in a vehicular crash involving an officer responding to the incident. Tammie Pickelsimer, 66, passed in front of the officer’s vehicle, Georgia State Patrol said.

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.

The congresswoman blasted the source of the alleged bomb threat as the reason Pickelsimer died, saying that it was why the police vehicle was there at the time.

“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,” Greene wrote.

“The perpetrator of this crime has committed murder in our small community of Rome, Georgia,” the congresswoman continued.

Greene said in an earlier post that the police department’s “Assistant Chief of Police received an email containing a bomb threat directed towards me.”

The post included a video of a man in an apparent protective suit inspecting a mailbox. The timestamp indicates that the video was recorded yesterday afternoon.

The congresswoman wrote that police should not have to deal with bomb threats like the one she allegedly received. She thanked the RPD for putting themselves in harm’s way to address the alleged threat against her and to serve the city.

“I’m sick to my stomach, but I’m also angry. This should have never happened and I pray it never happens again,” Greene wrote.
