Florida Sen. Rick Scott. Credit: CBS Senator Rick Scott was out at dinner with his wife Wednesday night, but unbeknownst to him, police were on high alert heading to his home. According to the Naples Police Department, just after 9 p.m., authorities were headed to the scene after a call came in saying a man shot his wife while sleeping three times with an AR-15. Once at the residence, police were met by security from the International Protective Services. Police searched for anyone or anything suspicious outside of the home. The search ended after checking that the doors and windows were all secure without signs of forced entry. Officers contacted the homeowner, who then went back to his home. He asked the officers to search the inside of his home. After searching, the officers didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. According to records of the 911 call, just before 9 p.m., a caller identifying himself as “Jamal” said he shot his wife with an AR-15. Jamal claimed he shot his wife because she was sleeping with another man. Jamal then told authorities he was holding Michael, his wife’s boyfriend, hostage and demanding $10,000. Jamal then told authorities he had a pipe bomb. If he was not given the $10,000 he was demanding, Jamal was going to blow up the house. The person identified as Jamal did not provide any details about his wife or Michael. Authorities are now saying Jamal’s voice sounded like it was computer-generated and artificial. Scott later posted on social media about his home in Naples getting swatted on Wednesday night. According to the social media post, Scott said he was out at dinner with his wife when the swatting happened. Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards “swatted” my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family.Ann & I want to thank @NaplesPolice & @CollierSheriff for all they do to keep us safe. — Rick Scott (@SenRickScott) December 28, 2023 “These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family,” said Scott in the post. According to the Naples Police Department, the call had indicated that a shooting happened on the 3100 block of Gordon Drive. In his tweet, Scott thanked the Naples Police Department and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office for their hard work and keeping the area safe.
