Indianapolis city council member Ron Gibson awoke early Monday morning to the sound of gunshots, finding that his home had been fired into by an attacker. A note left at his doorstep explicitly read "No data centers," according to Gibson's statement.
The incident follows Gibson's recent support for a contentious proposal to construct a data center within his district. Describing the attack as "deeply unsettling," Gibson's home was targeted in what appears to be a direct act of intimidation related to the data center development. No injuries were reported during the event.
