Gunfire Strikes Kamala Harris Campaign Office in Phoenix Suburb
In a troubling incident, gunshots were fired at a campaign office for U.S. Presidential nominee Kamala Harris in a Phoenix suburb, resulting in significant property damage but no reported injuries. The shooting occurred shortly after midnight on Monday, when several bullets struck the building and shattered windows, prompting a swift response from local law enforcement.
The Tempe police have launched an investigation into the incident, which is particularly concerning given that this marks the second shooting targeting the same campaign office in just two weeks. A previous incident occurred on September 16, when rounds from a pellet or BB gun were shot at the facility, raising alarm about the safety of campaign operations in the area.
Sean McEnerney, the Arizona Democratic Party coordinated campaign manager, expressed relief that no one was present during the shooting. He commended the Tempe Police for their prompt action, stating, “We are grateful to Tempe Police for coming quickly to the scene and are fortunate no one was present or injured.”
This violent act comes just days before Harris is scheduled to visit Arizona, heightening concerns over the safety of political figures and their campaign offices. The shooting also follows a separate incident involving a second assassination attempt on former U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course on September 15, underscoring a troubling trend of political violence in the lead-up to the election.
As investigations continue, officials are urging heightened security measures for political events and campaign offices to ensure the safety of candidates and their staff.
