Virginia police are investigating what appears to be an attack on Sen. Mark Warners (D-VA) regional office in Roanoke after a brick was reportedly thrown through the offices front window before it opened Monday morning.
"This morning prior to 8 a.m., an individual threw a brick through the front office window of Sen. Warner's Roanoke office," Warner's communications director Rachel Cohen said in a statement to CNN. "Thankfully due to the early hour no one was in the office at the time.
Local police were reportedly called to the office after being notified of an individual carrying bricks walking around the area.
The suspect, who has yet to be identified, is a slender white man expected to be in his early to mid-20s with light-colored hair, according to CNN.
Local police are also reportedly looking through surveillance footage of the incident to identify the man.
Warner said he was grateful for the speedy response from the Roanoke Police Department, who handled the investigation.
Early this morning, someone threw a brick through the front office window of my Roanoke office, Warner said of the incident on Twitter. Thankfully, due to the hour, no one was there and no one was hurt. Were all extremely grateful for the quick, professional response of the Roanoke Police Department.

99% of these turn out to be Dem activists staging propaganda.

Yep, gotta be government workers, or their supporters.

Probably a mentally unstable homeless guy, that is, a Democrat.
This story will likely get more national news coverage than all the Congressional baseball assassination shooting, you know, because this happened to a Democrat and the possibility of framing a White Republican is just too great to pass up.

It’s a strong consideration it is so. Wouldn’t put it past them at all.

The problem is all the unregistered bricks that are available on any street corner. Even children have access to them. Some system of traceability for bricks would solve the problem. An embedded "smart chip" in every brick plus a tracking database run by the FBI should go a long way to solving this problem. And universal background checks for all brick purchase are a must, along with mandatory brick safety classes.

Watch it be an Antifa freak who either doesn’t think Warner is leftist enough or trying to blame the right as “Well, they WOULD do it.”

Who threw the brick? Shock troop Democrat brown-shirt agent provocateur? Perhaps, but it will be reported as "The Empire Strikes Back."
