The Tempe Police Department reported that the front windows of the campaign office were hit by gunfire. Fortunately, no one was inside at the time of the incident, and no injuries were reported. However, the attack has raised serious concerns about the safety of campaign staff and others working in the office, as reported by TMZ. This is not the first time the office has been targeted.
Last week, the police disclosed that the front windows of the office were shot at, possibly with a BB or pellet gun. Authorities are investigating both incidents but have not yet identified any suspects. The Harris campaign operates 18 field offices across the state.

Staff members of the Arizona Democratic Party, Senate, and House campaigns also use the office to help with voter turnout for the November election. Police are continuing their investigation into both shootings, and it’s unclear whether the attacks are related or if they were politically motivated.
As the election season intensifies, political figures’ and campaign teams’ safety remains a pressing concern.
