A bullet that hit a window in Republican U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor's office building appears to have been fired randomly into the air, police said Thursday.
Cantor announced at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday that a shot had been fired into his Richmond campaign office.
In addressing reporters, he denounced threats and vandalism against Democrats who passed sweeping health care reform legislation that has angered conservatives, but accused senior Democrats of inciting retribution against Republicans.
"It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain," Cantor told reporters.
Cantor said he receives threats because he is Jewish and because he is the second-ranking Republican in the House, then disclosed a recent direct threat and the shooting.
"A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week, and I've received threatening e-mails," Cantor said. He refused to release details, however, saying it would only encourage more threats, and refused to take questions.
Later Thursday, however, Richmond police said in a news release that the bullet had been fired into the air around 1 a.m. Tuesday. It finished its arc back to earth at a sharp downward trajectory, breaking a window pane on the bottom floor of the two-story brick building where Cantor's campaign leases the top floor.
The spent bullet hit the floor about one foot inside the shattered pane. No one was in the building at the time. A police investigation has yielded no suspects.
The pastel green structure with a purple door resembles a town house, and from the outside it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a business or residence. Except for a brass plate by the door identifying it as The Reagan Building, nothing outdoors links it to Cantor or to the GOP.

OK A GUN WAS FIRED UP INTO THE AIR AND THE BULLET CAME DOWN SIDEWAYS AND WENT THRU THE WINDOW....HMMMM....

Did it also manage to travel back in time and strike John Connelly and JFK?
How can they report this with a straight face?
ROTFL!!! The Richmond police are some funny guys.

“A bullet that hit a window in Republican U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor’s office building appears to have been fired randomly into the air”
What a f___ing coincidence for that randomly fired bullet to wind up going through Rep. Cantor’s office window right after ObortionCare was passed, and the Rep. has been receiving threats. I wonder if that randomly fired bullet also sunk the South Korean Naval ship last night! I’ve heard of Smart bombs, but this is ridiculous!!
Now Fox is reprinting Dem talking points.
The guy with the beret and mustache should be assigned and put in charge.
Also test your Shift key. ;-0
LOL! Now that’s funny. Unfortunately, the morons in the “media” would believe him/her.
I’m curious, and maybe I’m revealing my ignorance too much here....but how does a bullet fired randomly into the air go through a window?
