Bullets flew through one home\u2019s front door and garage. At another home, three bullets went into the bedroom of a 10-year-old girl in a series of shootings that had at least one thing in common: They all targeted the homes or offices of elected Democratic officials in New Mexico.
\nNobody was injured in the shootings that are being investigated by local and federal authorities. Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said they\u2019re working to determine if the attacks that started in early December and were scattered around the state\u2019s largest city are connected.
\nThe attacks come amid\u00a0a sharp rise in threats\u00a0to members of Congress and two years after supporters of then-President Donald Trump\u00a0attacked the U.S. Capitol\u00a0and sent lawmakers running for their lives.\u00a0Local school board members\u00a0and\u00a0election workers\u00a0across the country have also endured harassment, intimidation and threats of violence.
\nAlbuquerque officials have acknowledged they don\u2019t know what motivated the shootings, but felt it was important to notify the public nonetheless. No suspect has been identified. Police declined to comment further on the investigation Friday.
\nThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will analyze bullet casings recovered from the scenes to try to determine whether the same weapon was used or if the gun was used in other crimes, said Phoenix-based ATF Special Agent in Charge Brendan Iber.<\/p>\n
