News summary

Both Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers and Democratic candidate Elissa Slotkin were targeted in separate swatting incidents in Michigan this week. On Friday, family members of Rogers were the victims of a false emergency call at their Livingston County home, marking the second time he has been targeted by such behavior, with a previous incident occurring in 2013. Slotkin's home was targeted a day earlier, leading to a swift police response that also confirmed the threat was a hoax. Rogers' campaign condemned the swatting incidents, highlighting the alarming trend of political violence and calling for accountability for those responsible. The two candidates are set to compete for Michigan's open Senate seat in the upcoming election on November 5. Swatting involves making false emergency reports to provoke a heavy law enforcement response and has increasingly affected public figures in recent months.
