On October 18th, Republican Pat Harrigan, who is fighting for an open seat in the “famously” liberal 14th Congressional District in Hickory, North Carolina, had a home filled with his relatives shot at by a gunman.

According to the Daily Mail, the FBI have launched an investigation into the case after a bullet landed “just feet away from where the candidate’s children had been sleeping.”

“The congressional candidate’s daughters, aged 3 and 5, were asleep in the bedroom directly above the room where the shooting occurred,” the outlet added. “With the bullet coming from a densely wooded area behind the house, piercing a window but not waking the girls.”

Harrigan was not at the residence during the incident.

Critics are questioning where the public outrage is from Democrats, especially because many on the left have demonized Republicans for not calling out political violence in the wake of the Paul Pelosi assault last week.
