Police: Democratic Party office in Tempe shot for third time in span of weeks

For the third time this campaign season, a Democratic Party office in Tempe was struck by gunfire.

The building was shot around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. No one was inside.

The office is near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive, north of the Arizona Mills Mall.

Police are looking for information about a "suspect vehicle" as part of their investigation into the shootings. Police said the vehicle was "possibly" a 2008-13 silver Toyota Highlander. The vehicle has a sunroof, a roof rack and five-spoke rims.''

The previous two shootings occurred in September. First on Monday, Sept. 16, and then again on Monday, Sept. 23.

Like the latest, those earlier shootings happened overnight, between midnight and 1 a.m., and were without injury.

The shootings have involved BB gun and firearm rounds, police said, and damage included bullet holes in the glass front door and a window.

Police are still investigating.
