TEMPE, Ariz. - For the third time in less than a month, police say shots were fired at the Democratic Party office in Tempe, and a photo of the suspect's vehicle has been released.

Since Sept. 16, Tempe Police say there have been three reports of someone shooting at the building near Priest Drive and Southern Avenue. The latest shooting happened on Oct. 6. All of the shootings happened between 12-1 a.m.

Video from the scene showed bullet holes in the glass entryway. Investigators believe the shots came from a firearm or BB gun. No one was inside the office during any of the shootings.

"No one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby," said Tempe Police Sgt. Ryan Cook.
