Multiple bullet damages were found at the Democratic National Committee campaign office near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive, following gunfire that occurred shortly after midnight on Monday, the Tempe Police told the New York Post.
“No one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby,” public information officer Ryan Cook said.
This marks the second instance of criminal damage reported at the office in two weeks. Following midnight on September 16, the front windows were struck by what police believe was a BB or pellet gun. No arrests have been made in either case, and authorities are exploring all potential motives.
