On Monday, gunshots were fired at a campaign office for U.S. Presidential candidate Kamala Harris in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. While several bullets damaged the building and windows, no one was injured in the incident. The shooting occurred just after midnight.

Tempe police are investigating the shooting, which happened just days before Harris was scheduled to visit the state. This is the second attack on the same office in two weeks. A previous incident on September 16 involved shots from a pellet or BB gun. Fortunately, no one was present during either attack.

Sean McEnerney, campaign manager for the Arizona Democratic Party, expressed gratitude to the Tempe police for their swift response. He emphasized that the situation could have been much worse if people had been at the office at the time of the shooting.

This shooting comes after another recent act of violence in the political sphere. On September 15, a second attempt was made on U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s life at his West Palm Beach golf course. These incidents highlight the growing tensions and safety concerns around political campaigns as the election season heats up.

As the 2024 Presidential election approaches, security around candidates and their campaign offices is becoming more critical. While no injuries were reported in these incidents, they serve as a reminder of the potential dangers political candidates face during their campaigns.
