| Shot Fired into Home of North Carolina GOP Congressional Candidate Pat Harrigan | |
| 2022-11-04 | |
[BREITBART] The Cardinal Journal has learned that a shot was fired into the Hickory, North Carolina, home of Republican Congressional candidate Pat Harrigan on October 18, 2022, the bullet entering the home "only a few feet" from where Harrigan’s children were sleeping. According to the Cardinal Journal, "Harrigan owns the home, which is currently occupied by his parents. ... [and] Harrigan’s children were in the home when the incident occurred." Hickory Police Department spokesperson Kristen Hart said, "No one was injured, but the officers investigating did find evidence of a bullet casing which is being looked into." Harrigan is running in North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District against State Sen. Jeff Jackson (D). On October 27 the Charlotte Observer noted that Harrigan wrote an open letter claiming the political campaign had become so vitriolic that he "wears a bulletproof vest to major public events and has received a death threat." In the letter, directed to Jackson, Harrigan said Jackson filmed a political ad in front of one of Harrigan’s Hickory homes in late September, and claims the ad opened his family up to greater danger. Harrigan wrote, "As I travel, wherever my family is located, they are significantly less safe with me in this race. And they are even less safe now that you’ve shown one of my homes to the world." Harrigan wound down his letter to Jackson by observing, "There are many questions I have about you, your taxes, former home, current home, and your personal life. But I’m never going to film an ad in front of your home, violating the sanctity and security of your family."

| #8 I lived in Greeneville for a while, it didn't feel as red to me as the parts of Tennessee I lived in. Course it wasn't Asheville either. |

| #7 Probably worth taking steps to make sure t that it only happens once. It’s worth checking what your homeowners association has written with regard to entrenched positions. I don’t know that the state of North Carolina requires special licensing for a Stinger emplacement. |

| #6 #2And the FBI will sit on their hands and say it's a local matter. The cops won't find anyone and so once again, some lefty subhuman gets away with it. Posted by: Silentbrick 2022-11-04 08:03 SB, Let me just say this - North Carolina is a LOT redder than the media and its Democratic leadership would have you believe. Put another way, believe me when I tell you Hickory ain't RDU or Wilmington or Asheville. Mike PS - and on reflection, you'll know the locals were getting close when the FBI steps in and takes over the investigation. Mike |

| #5 Fake news. EVERYONE knows only white supremacists commit political violence, and it is always against democrats. This is just more of the republicans trying to steal the midterms. The /sarc tag is getting almost as useless as playing Bee or Not Bee. |
