Someone fired shots at a Democratic Party campaign office in Tempe, causing damage but no injuries, authorities said.
Tempe police said the damage was discovered early Monday and the incident is being investigated as a property crime since nobody was in the office at the time the gunshots were fired.
Sgt. Ryan Cook says it’s unclear if there was a political motive.
“On both of these incidents no one was ever at the office during the midnight hours and no one was injured thankfully. “

Phoenix TV stations aired video Monday that showed two bullet holes in a door and two more in windows of the office.
