BREAKING NEWS: Shots fired into Knox Bush/Cheney headquarters

[housewife101]

An unknown suspect fired several shots into the Bearden office of the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign Tuesday morning.

The headquarters are located at 4618 Kingston Pike, next to Noveau Classics and in the same shopping plaza as Long's Drugstore.

According to Knoxville Police Department officers on the scene Tuesday, it is believed that the two separate shots were fired from a car sometime between 6:30 am and 7:15 am. One shot shattered the glass in the front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.

There were no witnesses to the shooting. A customer at a nearby dry cleaning store noticed that shattered glass on the sidewalk in front of the headquarters and called police.

Volunteers and staffers at the campaign office say they have no clues as to who might have committed the crime. However, they add that the shooting makes them even more enthusiastic and energized about working for their candidates.

"If I have to sleep here (at the campaign office) now, that's what I'll do," says volunteer Suzanne Dewar.

In an unexpected twist, a bank directly across the street from the headquarters was robbed just as KPD officers were busy investigating at the scene of the shooting.

If they want to act like terrorists then lets treat them as terrorists.

Party of Peace alert.

That is the third GOP headquarters shot at or broken into in the last week or so. Maybe Nancy Pelosi should come out and give a 'Can't we all just get along' speech.

I suspect the perp assured himself the actions he was about to take passed the global test.

It sounds like vandalism by other means. Hopefully, we haven't reached a point where we are shooting at fellow Americans over a lawful election's process.
