An Indiana politician said he and his 8-year-old son were awakened when someone fired 13 shots at their front door, leaving behind a note reading “No Data Centers” on their doorstep. No one was harmed in the incident, but Indianapolis councilman Ron Gibson says the bullets struck just steps from the dining room table where his son played with Legos the day before.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that officers called to a home on East 41st Street just after 9 a.m. Monday found evidence of gunshots being fired at a house, but no injuries were reported. Police said they believe it was an isolated, targeted incident and the FBI was assisting.
