A bullet hole was discovered in a storefront window at the Bernie Sanders campaign headquarters in northwest Las Vegas on Thursday morning, the same day the Democratic presidential candidate was on site, Metro Police said today.

Officers responded just before noon to the campaign office at 815 South Rainbow Blvd., near Alta Drive, authorities said. Police said it appears a bullet went through the window but declined to comment on whether a shot had been fired.

Sanders did interviews with several media outlets at the office Thursday morning, including with the Sun.

The Sanders campaign declined comment.

Police are investigating.

Just some random nut case, or some kind of warning; and if so, by whom?

How else does a bullet hole get there?



Didn't read the whole report yet...

ETA: This is the whole report.

2. Could be a "Planted Article"...to get people worked up.

The Campaign"Dirty Tricks" are out there and become more and more sophisticated as the years go by.

I suspect as we move forward things will get worse. Just to see what's going on with Trump .....one doesn't have to look too far to see how ugly things can get going foward.

11. Could be a false clue to offset any future actions.

4. He's got to get some SS protection going! n/t

5. I know that Hillary has SS protection because she used them for her infamous rope line.

Not sure if Bernie qualifies for SS protection though.

6. He appears to meet all the requirements for protection.

Bernie must request it though. This would be a good reason to convince him to request it.

7. Fuck the NRA! (nt)

9. He's taking on some of the most powerful people in the world.

Think about that.

Of course he's a target. Of course he is. As an intelligent person, he knows it.

I am sure he has some kind of SS protection because you can see them just behind him in videos. In a recent video -- I think the Wall Street speech -- he went to the audience to shake hands with people and three men were tailing right behind him, watching the audience the way SS people do.

A few months ago it looked like he and Jane had protection as they were going to their car after an appearance.

But he will need more than SS protection, imo. He needs to take prudent precautions in everything he does.

Bernie is unbelievably courageous.
