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.

That's terrible oh their threatening people that's when you really have to stand up because if they act this way now you can expect it to be worse if the Republicans party win. Their crazy now from what I hear at these debates so hey president Obama all the way I guess threats and all.
Dear Republicans: just keep claiming this election isn't about race... You're only convincing yourself.
What a shame that these crimes have to happen.
I find it interesting that although this article appeared hours ago (not 2 min ago as showing), not one comment has been posted. Is the country confused as to which party could be behind such vicious behavior? Don't come after me, I don't believe in guns. I do, however take note of all the curious violence surrounding this election.
These folks are so brave! Join the army!
This is a result of cult teaching toxic hate on radio waves in the name of politics.
Typical Republicans. Probably a Bagger.
No that is sick regardless of what party you want to see running this country.
They're determined to get rid of President Obama no matter how. This country has NOT moved when it comes to race relations in 50 years. Oh they pretend we have, but that's just another lie. God bless you President Obama.
I live in Colorado and for the third time this month I have awoken to my Obama-Biden sign stolen. I guess the GOP in my state don't think their guys can win without stealing signs, shooting campaign offices, along with voter suppression. Too pathetic.
America is so smart? Has democracy ran it course? We are more divided today than many yesterdays. Our elite prestigious universities can't even protect an innocent child (Penn State). Our superlative, esteemed and well educated wall street practically destroyed the middle-class in America. Today we have Romney, a consummate liar...if ever elected, the first thing he would say "I Don't want to be president". How smart are we?
Voter fraud
out right lies
taking both sides of the same issue.
ridiculous voter ID laws
why not add intimidation to the GOP play book
During this time, with all the ugly statements being made by both sides of the ticket, is any wonder that thiis led to physical viiolence?? I dslike Governor Rommney and wouldn't vote for him but fear this violence started in racist hearts
This was obviously the result of somebody not liking a youtube video.
What is with some weird Coloradians and shooting off their gunsat other people? Should be "guns don't kill people. Only people from Colorado kill people".
Is that supposed to scare people away from voting? Well, it won't work! America is done with listening to bullies! It didn't succeed in the sixties and it won't work now! O/B!!!
A lot of Democrats and Liberals are about to fill up the comment section with jokes about Republicans and Conservatives. Probably a few gun law rants as well.
Crazy doesn't have a political party. Crazy is apolitical and can be dangerous.
What is more dangerous is using this act to fill you with hatred for someone of the same nationality, especially given the lack of data in the article. Let's just all agree it's an unfortunate incident, and be glad nobody was hit.
Just another tactic from liberals to portray themselves as the victim and underdog...........Desperation!!!
Oh Denver, you are better than this.
Some die hard Romney supporter must not be happy
businesses look for ways around ObamaCare, others attack the law directly,socialized medicine will cost your your job while you loose your childrens future,bye obama 2012
Militant christians for Romney.
Someone shot at the Obama campaign office? OK. I will vote for Romney. Conservatives, are you happy?
First & foremost obama needs to claim right race.then help his people to establish equel human rights to gain pride.that I can see self respect & that will give me confidence in recieving rightuos service.thru food or law!
Really ??? This is simply a stunt by Liberals to try and gin-up sympathy, rally the base and paint the opposition as radicals.
1st Clue – No one was hurt – 1st clue.
2nd Clue – Firing a gun will get you jail time – why not throw a rock if you want to vandalize something.
3rd Clue – Absolutely no positive outcome of this act if you oppose President Obama.
Most likely it was a Liberal supporter trying to make the Republicans/Conservatives bad – using a gun to emphasize their agenda that wants tighter restrictin on guns.
If & when they find out who did this (and they won't...car was stolen most likely)...strong odds are it was NOT a conservative.
A truly desparate attempt by a Liberal-Nut to get the media away from news about the economy & cover-ups about terrorist attacks.
