Richmond Police Statement On Cantor Office Vandalism |
|
http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/03/richmond-police-statement-on-cantor-office-vandalism.phpRichmond Police Investigate Cantor Building Vandalism
March 25, 2010
The Richmond Police Department is investigating an act of vandalism at the Reagan Building, 25 E. Main St., Richmond, Virginia. A first floor window was struck by a bullet at approximately 1 a.m. on Tuesday, March 23. The building, which has several tenants including an office used by Congressman Eric Cantor, was unoccupied at the time.
A Richmond Police detective was assigned to the case. A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction, landing on the floor about a foot from the window. The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds. There was no other damage to the room, which is used occasionally for meetings by the congressman.
The Richmond Police Department is sharing information about the incident with appropriate law enforcement agencies.
At this time there are no suspects.

12. It must have been an air rifle, because window glass would not deflect something larger. |

17. a test for Mythbusters? |
|
to figure out how far away from the building that a bullet would need to fired for it to have enough force to break the window but not penetrate the blinds. my guess is between 1/2 and 3/4 of a mile, depending on caliber. kind of seems that his office wasn't so much the target as the city of richmond was....
