Congresswoman Lori Trahan says a bomb threat was made targeting her and her family, and that police in Westford were investigating along with U.S. Capitol Police and Massachusetts State Police.
The Massachusetts Democrat said she was made aware of the threat Saturday morning. She didn't share more details about the nature of the threat, but thanked the officers who investigated. "It’s a good time to say the obvious: threats of violence and intimidation have no place in our country," Trahan said on social media.Law enforcement and security expert Todd McGhee tells NBC10 Boston that he believes there will be an uptick in threats between now and Trump's inauguration in January.
"Targeting of our Legislature is just indicative of the divided country that we’re in, the positions that people have taken. The volatile rhetoric just continues," he said."This is not a one-off by any means of the imagination. There are individuals that are out there that are leveraging this type of targeted violence.”
