LAFAYETTE, Ind.
Someone fired at least six gunshots into a western Indiana county’s Democratic Party headquarters within hours of the storming of the U.S. Capitol building by supporters of President Donald Trump, a party official said.
No one was inside the Tippecanoe County Democratic Party’s headquarters in Lafayette when the shots were fired sometime after the start of Wednesday afternoon’s insurrection in the nation’s capital and before people arrived back at the building Thursday morning, according to a party official and the police department, which is investigating. Six bullets were found at the scene.
No one was inside the offices when they were fired upon and no one was injured, said Heather Maddox, who chairs the Democratic Party in the county, which narrowly backed Democrat Joe Biden in November’s election.
