Breaking: Shot fired at Obama campaign headquarters in Denver

Police say someone fired a shot at the Obama campaign's Denver headquarters Friday afternoon.

No one was injured, though people were inside the offices when the incident occurred, said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," she said.
The incident happened at about 3 p.m. at the campaign's offices on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Lopez said.

The odds of catching any of these people must be in the 0% range. Too bad.

I can call a spade a spade, or even a fucking shovel it I so please.

Acts like this are done to cause fear. Just being inside an Obama campaign office can get you killed. It is a blunt as strange fruit in the South.

8. Typical right wing extremism

This is absolutely despicable and uncalled for. I don't care who the candidate is or who the party is, you don't risk innocent lives to take your frustration out. It's not like there was any chance the President himself was in there, so why do it? I am just glad everyone is OK, because that could have been much worse.

It's pathetic when you have to worry about security at your campaign field offices. Absolutely disgusting.

Isn't crime supposed to be the reason they exist?

32. This Party talks out of both sides of its mouth....

They talk about how they are trying to attract minorities to the GOP yet they tolerate this type of crap even cater to it.

If I were a person of color and happened to attend a Republican rally or event and saw people, even one person walking around wearing a shirt, pin, button, sporting a bumpersticker with that crap on there, I'd would be extremely offended and turned off to put it mildly.

Keep tolerating this racist behavior and the Party's dreams of diversity will remain just that.

It's pathetic.

Last edited Fri Oct 12, 2012, 10:56 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)

looks more like a rock.

Bullet moves at a high velocity .
It appears that what ever broke that was moving at a very low velocity and had a lot of mass behind it.

If it was a bullet it should be able to be found rather easily in that back white sheetrock wall.

It's a senseless act of destruction and shows how divided this country is becoming.

I'm hoping I'm right about the rock .
Because if I'm not , the police really need to ramp this up and get the shooter off the street.

and now...

It very well could have been but typically glass doesn't shatter like that with a bullet.

Was that picture taken before the police arrived on scene?


Is there anymore information the police have put out yet.
This happened at 3:00 pm

bullet found , caliber , anything?

30. Wonder if the right-wing media is following this story

This would be the main story on Faux News/Drudge, etc. if shots were ever fired at a Romney campaign headquarters?

Faux news is blocked at our house (Parental Controls) so I have no idea.

34. The GOP put a huge Anti Terrorism infrastructure in place.


An expensive agency called the Department of Homeland Security. They "grew" the government to create it.

It will be nice to see their Frankenstein beat them down when they start going nuts.
