Police On Cantor Incident: 'We're Calling It Random Gunfire'
Justin Elliott | March 26, 2010, 9:51AM

In an interview with TPM, a Richmond Police Department spokesman said the bullet that penetrated a window in a building that includes a campaign office of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) was "an act of random gunfire."

"What we were describing yesterday in fact describes an act of random gunfire," said Public Information Manager Gene Lepley.

Was the bullet ever fired? Did it in fact glance off the window, or was it thrown? How far did the glass breakage radiate? Are there any impact marks from the glass? At what angle?

5. Thank you Clio. That should pretty well wrap it up.

Hell of a neighborhood, though. :crazy:

6. Of course, the media jumped all over it before checking all the facts.

The Rethugs just want to say that they are getting threatened too, so it makes it all okay.
