When did the other attacks on Democratic office in Tempe take place?

Gunfire damage was first discovered at a Democratic campaign office in Tempe on Sept. 16, shortly after midnight. Authorities found the front windows shot at by a BB or pellet gun.

A week later, workers arriving to the office found more gunshot damage in the front window.

After the second attack, Sgt. Ryan Cook with Tempe Police said the situation was dangerous despite the lack of human injuries.

“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,” Cook said in a news release the day after the second shooting.

Police said they were taking extra measures to protect staff as well as others in the area.

Following the third shooting on Sunday, Tempe Police shared further details about the string of shootings.
