LAFAYETTE, Ind. Lafayette police say at least six shots were fired into the front of the Tippecanoe County Democratic Headquarters.
Officers were called to the building a few blocks from the courthouse early Thursday evening.
No one was hurt, and no one was inside the building at the time. Disbelief is probably not a strong enough word, said Heather Maddox.
Maddox still can t believe there were bullets fired into the headquarters, where she has spends much of her work days alone, conducting online meetings as part of her leadership job.
