(TheBlaze/AP) — Denver police are reviewing video footage from city surveillance cameras after a shot was fired through the window of President Barack Obama’s campaign office.

Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez says people were inside the office when the shooting happened Friday afternoon, but that no one was injured. However, a large panel of glass was left shattered.

Lopez added that cameras are in the area of the campaign office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street near Denver’s downtown, and investigators are poring over the tapes for any leads.

She did not release any other information, citing an “active, ongoing investigation,” but said she isn’t aware of any previous threats against this particular campaign office.

The Secret Service referred questions about the shooting to Denver police, and an Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment.

This is not the first time an Obama campaign office has been damaged. Mediaite notes that the president’s campaign office in Los Angeles was vandalized and shot at with a BB-gun last year, and that in August of this year Occupy Oakland protesters smashed its windows and shouted “leave marijuana alone!”

KUSA Denver has more on the story, via Mediaite:

In the last election, a Democratic operative vandalized the Democratic offices here in Denver. It was an attempt to sully the Republicans. It didn’t work because the vandal was apprehended. So until we have evidence, we are not reacting to the provocation. But we won’t let this incident be swept under the rug either. People could have been hurt or killed. No one should be so threatened just because they are working for a political candidate. That is their right. And if Democrats would threaten their own people just to dirty their opposition, they – or that person – MUST be prosecuted. The violence must stop.

  That is what lefty radicals do ! When they don’t think they will win on merit, they resort to their credo of……”the end justifies the means.” The jerk with the inflammatory T-shirt, at the Romney rally, was one of these lefty loons as well. Look for more of these types of staged attacks this week.

This also happened a couple years ago and it turned out to be an Obama supporter that did it.

At the Bilderberger meeting in Chantilly VA, 5/31/2012(infoWrs) moles overheard the Bilders talk about their “disenchantment” with OB due to his “arrogance” and that he is disobeying his handler B. Clinton and “something must be done.”
Hypothetically: OB HANDLERS take OB out.

Prep the public with false flag into the notion that mainstreet joe is taking pot shots(preferably WHITE) so that it riles Black folks and they start that “riot” of anarchy, the Bilderbergers are trying to create here and around the world……..well, actually they have done it already in Europe. and are very successful in the Middle East(the Bilders pay Al_Q to destroy the ME)
Either way THEY want to get rid of Obama as just as much if not more so than mainstreet Joe.

  Truly evil people are never killed. I’m sorry, but the only way Hussein is going to die is if he kills himself. That’s the way it works. He’s ever degenerate human trait rolled into one sociopathic freak. Napoleon and Hitler have nothing on him. He’ll live long enough to watch the World burn. I guarantee you that.

Obama has turned on his followers tat are paying attention, and more importantly he has betrayed the American people in upholding his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that people are outraged.

Biden didn’t come off well during the debate, so Obama had to do something to “speak to his base.” These tactics are right up the Democratic alley!

This should be a wake up call to all of us.

We the People, who value our liberties and Right to Keep and Bear Arms, don’t pull this kind of crap.

Eric Holder supplying the gun may not be too far from the truth. All the Obama Administration needs is an excuse like this to take away the means of protecting ourselves and our families from “racists” and “intolerants” like us.

It smacks of a false flag.

But, then again, there are immature and irresponsible individuals within every segment of political persuasion.

A Lib hearing the sound of shattered glass may have sounded like a gunshot. HAHA.

The wide glass dispersal pattern on the sidewalk would suggest the office window was busted out from the inside.

Come on people, This was staged. Like when a black finds a noose hanging in a school or a job site.. Come to find out it was one of them who put it there to get sympathy or draw attention to a conflict that doesn’t exist.

Maybe they need to check-up on Maurice Schwenkler, the democrat who has a history for doing this sort of thing, and on the very same buildings windows…

  Turns out that this vandalism was done by some whacko that actually worked for the Democratic Party as a canvasser a while back. You really have to look HARD to find this in the media. They’re still too preoccupied trying to explain away Hilary Clinton and the State Dept.

Amazing that we still have responsible law enforcement authorities in the Western states. Detroit was warning baseball fans about travel to the playoffs. Yankee fans take heed. And we thought all would be healed four years ago.
