Shots were fired at the election campaign office of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in Tempe, Arizona, marking the second attack on the office within a month. Previously, the office's windows had been damaged by a pellet gun.

Tempe Police confirmed the latest incident occurred on Monday night, revealing "damage from gunfire" at the Democratic National Committee office. Fortunately, no one was injured, as the office was empty at the time.

Sgt. Ryan Cook, a spokesperson for Tempe Police, emphasized concerns about the safety of workers and others in the area. Local news outlets showed footage of bullet holes in the office’s door and windows.

An investigation is underway, and law enforcement is examining evidence from the scene. Additional security measures have been implemented to protect employees and nearby workers.

Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano expressed dismay over the attack, calling it "extremely sad" and stating that violence does not reflect the values of Arizonans or Americans. The party is working closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety of its staff.

This incident comes just days ahead of Harris's planned visit to Arizona, where she is expected to visit the US-Mexico border.

The Tempe office is one of 18 field offices for Harris’s campaign in Arizona.

Earlier this month, on September 15, Donald Trump, Harris’s Republican opponent, survived a second assassination attempt at his Florida golf club, with the suspect being apprehended shortly after the incident.
