A Democratic Party campaign office was the target of gunfire in Tempe. No one was injured.
It’s not clear when the incident happened; a party spokesman on Sept. 23 said it occurred “overnight.” Tempe police said apparent gunfire damage was discovered at the party office near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive and they are investigating the incident as a property crime.
The office was unoccupied at the time, police said.
“Overnight, several shots were fired into our Tempe Democratic Party coordinated campaign office,” said Sean McEnerney, the Arizona Democratic Party coordinated campaign manager. “We are grateful to Tempe Police for coming quickly to the scene and are fortunate no one was present or injured.”
The Mesa Forensic Unit also responded to assist in the investigation. Anyone with information about or video of the incident is asked to contact the Tempe Police Department.
Concerns about political violence are swirling as Election Day nears; former President Donald Trump has survived two apparent assassination attempts, one in July and another earlier this month.
