Shots were fired at Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign office in Arizona, police said — just over a week after a second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
Damage from several bullets, fired sometime after midnight on Monday, was discovered at the Democratic National Committee campaign office near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive in Tempe, the Tempe Police Department told The Post.
“No one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby,” said Public Information Officer Sgt. Ryan Cook.
Detectives are currently analyzing evidence collected at the scene, and additional measures have been taken to beef up security for staff and others in the area, cops said.
Staff workers arrived at the office on Monday and reported what appeared to be gunshots fired through the front windows.
It’s the second time that criminal damage has been reported at the office in as many weeks.
Just after midnight on Sept. 16, the front windows were shot with what appears to be a BB gun or pellet gun, according to police.
No arrests have been made in either incident. Authorities are investigating all possible motives.
The shooting comes on the heels of the second attempt on Trump’s life at his West Palm Beach golf course on Sept. 15.
The gunman, 58-year-old Hawaii resident Ryan Routh, was discovered when a Secret Service agent spotted the muzzle of a semiautomatic rifle sticking out of the bushes near the sixth hole. The agent opened fire before Routh had a chance to fire a single shot.
The alleged would-be assassin dropped his rifle and fled in an SUV. He was arrested 40 minutes later.
Harris is scheduled to stop in Arizona for a campaign event on Friday — her second trip to the vital swing state since she was nominated at the Democratic National Convention in August.
Her campaign did not say which city Harris will be visiting, according to AZCentral.
Polls show Harris and Trump in a virtual tie in Arizona with just six weeks until Election Day.
Trump defeated Hillary Clinton there in 2016, but President Biden flipped the state blue in 2020, winning by less than 11,000 votes — the smallest margin of any state in the country that year, AZCentral reported.
