Shot fired into campaign office of US President Barack Obama in Denver - The Firearms Forum

jack404 · 10-13-2012, 03:53 AM

A SHOT has been fired at a campaign office for US President Barack Obama, with people inside, in Denver, Colorado, today.

Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez. said no one was injured.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," she told the Denver Post.

The incident happened at the campaign's offices on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Denver, Colorado.

Sam T Levin posted a photo on Twitter showing one of the office's large, front windows broken out. The window shards had been removed and a glass company was putting plywood up within minutes.

Lopez said police have a description of a "possible vehicle of interest." She said she could not release that information while detectives are reviewing any available video footage of the incident and pursuing leads.

An Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment on the incident, instead referring a question to the police.

Staged pity shot, just like you said Jack.

Yep. Most likely either:

1. A pity shot by a liberal trying to generate attention and contributions

2. A shot fired from a mile away by a gangsta' drug dealer who missed his victim

3. More Fast & Furious work by the ATF

AGREED! Look for more of the same. Time for Jesse and Al to crawl out from under their rocks and get the Black Community fired up about Whitey and the Gun toten Republicans.

This for sure is a bad thing for the firearms community. Gives the lib's power to go after everyone with a gun.

76Highboy · 10-13-2012, 11:42 AM

Bushmaster1313 · 10-14-2012, 12:25 AM

Was probably in reaction to the video.
I'm glad nobody was hurt.

jack404 · 10-14-2012, 02:04 AM

dang nabbit them jihadi's

bamajoey · 10-14-2012, 04:15 AM

I checked several articles about the "shooting" but none mentioned what type "bullet" broke the glass. It probably vaporized into thin air never to be found.

steve4102 · 10-14-2012, 09:19 AM

Not to change the subject or hijack this thread, but there have been a few shots fired around here as well.

A friend of a friend has a big 4' x 8' plywood sign for Chip Cravaack
http://cravaack.house.gov/

in his yard inside the city limits. A few nights ago he heard this pop-pop-pop coming from the busy street in front of his house. Next morning he noticed three bullet holes in his plywood sign. The cops were quick to suggest he remove the sign to avoid further incident.
