DNC Office Attacks Amid Rising Political Tensions

A Democratic National Committee campaign office in Tempe, Arizona, has been targeted by gunfire three times in recent weeks, with the latest incident occurring on October 6, 2024. The shootings, which have involved BB guns and firearms, took place between midnight and 1 a.m., causing damage to the building but resulting in no injuries. Tempe police are investigating the incidents and have released an image of a suspect vehicle, a silver Toyota Highlander from 2008-2013, seeking public assistance in identifying those responsible. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. The attacks come amid heightened political tensions and incidents of violence during the current election cycle, including assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit the area for a campaign event, and the office is one of 18 field offices for her campaign in Arizona.
