"That half hour was probably one of the most traumatic half hours of my life." In 2013, Lieu was driving home when a Torrance police officer called his cellphone and asked whether Lieu had harmed his wife. Islam told the FBI that Lieu was targeted because he was pushing to increase penalties for making "swatting" calls. "A few seconds later I think, well, what if someone else shot my wife?" Lieu said police and fire vehicles blocked the street when he arrived home, and officers were still combing the neighborhood.
