Police did not have a description of a suspect but did have a possible vehicle of interest, Lopez said.
A glass window was shattered, images of the scene showed.
Lopez said the Secret Service, which protects President Obama, was not involved in the investigation Friday, although the agency’s involvement would depend on what Denver police find.
Obama's re-election campaign had no comment and referred questions to Denver police.
Obama was in Washington on Friday.

I think the prez time is up and he failed, but this is AMERICA! Shooting at a campeign office is about as dumb as you can get. You cant think to get our CAC at a small office, this person deserves lots of prison time... We cant have americans doing this crap, already enough grudges between the parties..
Right wingers with guns! Reminds me of the early days of the Nazi "march" to power via the brownshirts. "When facism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carring the cross." – Sinclair Lewis If facism comes to America (via the right-wing christian fundamentalist tea-party theocrats, they will make the Nazis look like amateurs!
Here we go!! Redneck America at its best!!
Didn't something like this happen in 2008 and 2010 in Denver? I know one was a brick that broke a window at a campaign office, people on the right were blamed for it and the story practically disappeared when it was reveled that it was a disgruntled worker from that office.
An unfortunate incident
Guy with the gun...If you don't agree with Obama, you'v got a better weapon than a gun...your vote!....use it!
You can thank politicians and political radio hosts for polarizing America enough for this crap to take place. There is no middle ground anymore. There is no free thought anymore. Everyone is being brainwashed into being either right or left, with nowhere in between left to go.
On next campaing I need to see you to win do your best.
That sad it hate in the world wow congress try to pass those job exiting tax hike it too much hate
Terrorism.
thats stupid we dont need no fake attemps on the president life why wasnt bush lie threaten that start a small culture
Thank God no one was hurt.
Looks like this is another Gimmick by Obama to gain few "brownie points" and "Sympathy" from the Voters as he lost the first debate...Democrats will stoop to anything to hang in @ the Whitehouse...
You mean he missed all of those dem- turkeys boo. Should take away his hunting permits tip his aim gets better
Denver is getting rough.
Of course this was bound to happen. The GOP and Rush Windbag have been trying to get all the racist idiots to do something like this all year, not overtly of course, they are just entertainers...and all that spin offal we hear every day.And Sped Nugent didn't slow it a bit. Sorry state of affairs when pandering to idiots works to gain votes and then threatens lives. But it's like Iraq and the Bank Robbery we call a recession...NO ONE is accountable anymore once above the glass ceiling.
I don't care what your political slant is... taking a gun and shooting it at innocent people proves that you have lost all morality.
Republicans argue by using bullets.
Democrats argue by using our brains.
some people will always be on the wrong side of history
So these are the kinds of people Republicans are. They are gun shooting racist who think they can garner enough respect to rule the world. Lord help us. If they win, I'm moving north to Canada.
Hmmmmm... shots fired when things are going so well for Romney?? Kinda makes you wonder... who shot up what and why??
This is bad. The lies of the Extreme Right are doing what they had hope – incite people to violence. For get about the Afghan Taliban. We got some here in the U.S. now.
Republican thugs...
You all need to step away from the western channel in Denver before you all end up dragging us into another fight over gun rights -.-
Wow lets scale it back America. Dam.
