olice say someone fired a shot at an Obama campaign field office in Denver on Friday afternoon.
No one was injured, though people were inside the office when the incident occurred, said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.
“It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure,” she said.
The incident happened about 3 p.m. at the campaign’s office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Lopez said.
Here’s a picture of the damage before they replaced the window:
This is not the first time it’s happened. For those who remember, the Democrats seem to have a problem with getting damaged. Of course, last time it was an Obama supporter who did the damage (this from back in '09):
’08 race worker held in damage to Colorado Democratic HQ
One of two people suspected of shattering 11 windows Tuesday morning at the state Democratic Party headquarters has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show.
Police said that about 2:20 a.m., 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, now in custody, and an at-large accomplice took a hammer to the picture windows displaying posters touting President Barack Obama and his health care reform efforts.
Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver’s art district was a consequence of “an effort on the other side to stir up hate.” She tempered her statement after Schwenkler’s political history was revealed.
In this case, I will imagine that they will attempt to tag it on a Tea Party member…just like what they tried to do back in '09…until that was proven false.
