Nikki Haley's parents were home when she was targeted by a "swatting" hoax in December at her home on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, she said on Sunday.
It was one of two such incidents in recent weeks, according to law enforcement records obtained by ABC News.
The 2024 Republican presidential candidate and former South Carolina governor commented on the swatting during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" when she said that officers had "guns drawn" and pointed at her parents, who were with a caregiver, after police were reportedly falsely directed to her residence on suspicion of a crime in late December.
