Arizona authorities investigate gunfire damage on Harris campaign office in Tempe

Tempe police officials in Arizona launched an investigation on Tuesday into what appeared to be four bullet holes at a state Democratic campaign office, which were fired on Monday night.

The damage included two holes in the door of the office building and two holes in one of the windows. No one was present or injured during the alleged shooting. The incident occurred just days before Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to campaign in the Grand Canyon state.

“We can confirm that on 9/23/24, what appears to be damage from gunfire at … a DNC Campaign Office, was discovered,” the Tempe Police Department told NBC News.

Sean McEnerney, the coordinated campaign manager for the Arizona Democratic Party, also confirmed the report.

"Overnight, several shots were fired into our Tempe Democratic Party coordinated campaign office," McEnerney said in a statement shared by Newsweek. "We are grateful to Tempe Police for coming quickly to the scene and are fortunate no one was present or injured."

The Tempe field office is just one of 18 field offices in the state. Harris last campaigned in the state on Aug. 9, where she spoke about her plan to combat illegal immigration, which is a high priority for many voters this election period. It is not clear whether the speech on Friday will focus on the same topic, but she is also expected to visit the U.S.-Mexico border.
