An unknown suspect fired several shots into the Bearden office of the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign Tuesday morning.
The headquarters are located at 4618 Kingston Pike, next to Noveau Classics and in the same shopping plaza as Long's Drugstore.
According to Knoxville Police Department (KPD) officers on the scene Tuesday, it is believed that the two separate shots were fired from a car sometime between 6:30 am and 7:15 am.
One shot shattered the glass in the front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.
There were no witnesses to the shooting. A customer at a nearby dry cleaning store noticed shattered glass on the sidewalk in front of the headquarters and called police.
Volunteers and staffers at the campaign office say they have no clues as to who might have committed the crime. However, they add that the shooting makes them even more enthusiastic and energized about working for their candidates.
"If I have to sleep here (at the campaign office) now, that's what I'll do," says volunteer Suzanne Dewar.
In an unexpected twist, a bank directly across the street from the headquarters was robbed just as KPD officers were busy investigating at the scene of the shooting.
I think there may be more than enough evidence to label the Dems officially "enemies of the State." :-)
My wife, kids and I volunteeer at the Knox County Republican Headquarters. We've given away over 15,000 yard signs since we opened after the Republican National Convention.
This particular location is relatively near the University of Tennessee which has a fair amount of strident opposition to our current President.
Glad this didn't happen during business hours.
We need gun control for dems.
"We are the gun-contol/peacenik party. We approve of this action."

Now THAT'S the spirit!
Question - What does the Democrat Party and Islam have in common?
Answer - They are both hate-filled, evil cults.
I'm afraid you may be right. The Left has never been famous for being good losers.
I read that someone shot Toby Keith's bus driver this morning? Just random or another America hater?
I read an article last week that quoted college kids saying that it is "cool" to hate bush. To them, this is cool.
My oh my. I hope somebody's keeping track of all the break-ins and vandalism at various Bush/Cheney campaign offices in the past 2 weeks. I'm thinking this makes about number 4 or 5. Something wicked this way comes.

YOU ARE CORRECT!
I didn't know Dems could operate firearms.
I think they already are, and this does not surprise me in the slightest.
Somebody does this to an abortion mill and they'd call out the national guard and place this as the lead story on the MSM evening news.
RATS are Communists.
Exactly.
Next time it probably will.
Really? No idea? You haven't heard Alec Baldwin shouting that Ken Starr and his entire family should be stoned to death? Or seen the teeshirts depicting the President in the cross-hairs? I've even seen the occasional column where presidential assassination is condoned--one in Florida comes to mind. The dems are raving, foaming at the mouth, wild-eyed crazy. Hatred can do that to people.
I thought the Dems were against guns?
