The sister of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett received what appeared to be a politically motivated bomb threat at her home in West Ashley, South Carolina, just outside of Charleston, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday.
Charleston police responded Monday morning to a threat regarding the residence of Amanda Coney Williams, the Charleston Post and Courier reported. Shortly afterward, officials determined the threat to be a false alarm after inspecting Coney Williams’ mailbox. Barrett, 52, is the eldest of seven children and Coney Williams is one of the justice’s five sisters.
At about 11 p.m. Saturday, an email was sent to Lori Gadson, executive assistant to Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie, that read: “Using a 1×8-inch threaded galvanized pipe, end caps, a kitchen timer, some wires, metal clips and homemade black powder, I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett’s sister’s mailbox at her home at [address redacted], Charleston, SC [zip code redacted]. The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened. Free Palestine!”
