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.

Somebody probably didn't get reimbursed by the Obama campaign..,. again.
People need to stop the madness

Its not about the ppl in this country its all about power an no one really have step back and realized one thing even if the president do r dont get relected if dont matter if romney get it the hate in this world an the control of power is what this is all about an really its a dam shame
Glad no one was hurt.
The Republicans are getting desperate!
After that terrible debate performance in Denver last week the shots were probably fired by a Democrat.
Day 1: the media will blame some flannel-shirted republican...Day 15: police will arrest the Democrat who fired the shot trying to stir-up blame on, and hate for, Conservatives: Also on Day 15: media will drop story. This pattern of media abuse of the truth has happened so many times before as in 2008, 2004, 2000... In the end, hopefully the shooter will land in jail, at least.
People in colorado must be crazy. keep it up and that will be one less state we have to worry about him winning.
Woo I ain't surprised. Some people who are idiots will try to kill you if you give them healthcare. Either that or it's corporate goons.
Once again, we see how guns are all about self-defense. Right...
The Tea Party just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Violence is not the answer VOTIG IS!!!!
After Joe Biden's debate performance and this incident in Denver, I am fired up and ready to go!
I live in the Denver area and will be reporting to my local field office this morning to start the get out the vote effort by the Obama campaign. If you live in the Denver area, look up your local Obama field office and go show support for getting the President re-elected as a protest against the shooting at the downtown office.
I thought this was a free country where we encourage healthy political discourse and activism.. Shooting at the Obama campaign office might have been meant as a way to intimidate people from participating in the democratic process of free elections, but it is going to have the opposite effect.
No doubt the NRA will just call this just another act of political "Free Speach".
US elections are becoming violent, what is going wrong... The world still look up to you...
Totally unnecessary. Glad nobody was injured.
Some people just cant stand democracy. Shades of Kristallnacht.
Did they recover a bullet? The story didn't mention it. Is it possible that it was a rock pinched out from under the wheel of a vehicle that struck the window and shattered it? That used to happen about once every three years at a place that I used to work at.
I believe it was Hannity who stated "These liberals are extremists....really...I fear for the safety of Romney supporters"..........HOW will he twist this one?....I listen to him on my way home from work for a laugh everyday....such a useless piece of flesh.
This has gone too far. Both sides need to come together and make a joint statement denouncing this and any violent act stemming from hatred for either candidate. The GOP and tea party has stirred this beast and should be held to some level or responsibilities. John McCain was decent enough to correct a misguided voter during a townhall. Time for the GOP to show some maturity.
These acts should be classified as a felony regardless if there is an injury or not. We have a right to bear arms for defense and a right to expression but this is going overboard.
If you are a resident of Colorado and an undecided voter, this incident should tell you all you need to know about the Republican Party. The inmates are running the asylum.
Imagine that,
So sad that we still have people so fanatical that they want to intimidate with violence,
Go Obama! I hope he wins:D
Inside job. Typical liberal methodology.
He was just exercising his second amendment right. What's the problem?
