Shot fired at Obama campaign office in Denver

http://news.yahoo.com/shot-fired-obama-campaign-office-denver-013128940.html

DENVER (AP) — Denver police say someone has fired a shot through the window of President Barack Obama's Denver campaign office.

Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez says people were inside the office when the shooting happened Friday afternoon, but no one was injured. A large panel of glass was left shattered at the office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street.

Lopez says investigators are looking at surveillance video but have not yet confirmed a description of a vehicle that might be linked to the shooting. Police didn't immediately release other details while detectives pursue leads.

Lopez says she isn't aware of any previous threats against the campaign office.

The Secret Service referred questions about the incident to Denver police.

An Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment.

An election that is as important to people as this one is going to bring out the crazies and extremists.  This is horrible, but honestly, not all that shocking to me to hear.  I'm so glad no one was hurt.

Ironically, right before this came on as breaking news, I had just watched a segment on the local news about how these billboards are being put up showing obama as a socialist and all sorts of things. People are upset but the owner refuses to take them down as they are on private property. Ironic that I havent heard of this kind of thing with Romney, I wonder if there is a connection

SM, you're too cute.

Absolute insanity.

HOLY sh*T-balls...BIGTIME trouble for the a$$ who did this...I mean, couldn't they charge them with an assasination attempt?  How would anyone know if Obama himself wasn't in that office.

Sheesh...what a scary world we live in I tell you.
