Suspect arrested in Arizona Democratic campaign office shooting

A suspect has been arrested in connection with three shootings at the Democratic Party campaign office near Phoenix, Arizona, according to local officials. The suspect is also linked to incidents involving political signs and white powder.

A brief statement from Tempe police confirmed that a suspect was arrested Tuesday in connection with the shooting, in which no one was injured. The suspect's name and additional information will be released Wednesday.

The arrest came just hours after the suspect was arrested for posting political signs with suspicious bags of white powder in Ahwatukee, a south Phoenix neighborhood. The signs were also lined with razor blades.

The signs read “Never Harris,” “Dems Lie” and “Dems Kill Jews.”

The series of incidents began just after midnight on Sept. 16 when someone shot at the Democratic National Committee campaign office, located in the 1400 block of W Southern Avenue in Tempe.

The second incident occurred a week later, on the morning of September 23, when shots were fired again at the campaign office in Tempe. Footage from the crime scene showed at least two bullet holes in a door.

The third incident occurred shortly after midnight on October 6, when the campaign office was again hit by gunfire. No one was injured in any of the incidents. A $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of a suspect.
