10-5-2004 Bush-Cheney Office in Tennessee Hit by Gunshots
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Bush-Cheney campaign office in Knoxville, Tennessee was hit by at least two gunshots apparently fired from a passing vehicle on Tuesday but no one was hurt, police said.
DeBusk said at least two shots were fired at the building, which is in a row of businesses in a shopping area in west Knoxville. He said the shots appeared to have been fired from a vehicle in the parking lot outside.
The campaign office, which also houses the Knox County Republican Party headquarters, was clearly marked with a banner promoting the re-election of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Police are investigating and are forwarding information to federal officials in case the shooting turns out to be a hate crime, DeBusk said.
