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'm surprised it didn't happen before. Some people are pretty mad about Obamacare. They just can't stand the idea that if he get re elected we all won't have to grovel to the corporations for healthcare. Those people are idiots.
I mean, it's not that serious, people. I don't like Obama either, but this is a little too much now.
There's a shocker, Republicans being violent, stalking people, and trying to intimidate the population, who'd a thunk it?
Congratulations Rush, Sean, Neal Boortz, and all the rest of you foaming-at-the-mouth Republican and Tea Party crazzies – this is what all your inflamatory rhetoric, misrepresentations, and outright lies, leads to.
Some psycho has been fed HATE and delusions. He will not allow a Muslim in the White House. Thanks a lot GOPer hate mongers!!!
Geez, Biden wins one debate and Conservitards freak out...talk about a short temper....
I wondered how long it would take for all the rabid right wing hate mongering to lead to gunfire. This is the group we need leading the country. What a fine group of 'Mericans !!!
Omg, There Goin Over Board Now.. Obama & Biden 2012 In Jesus Name!!
"the Order"
So, now Mittens has a new friend, his name is Putin. If this doesnt scare anyone from running from Mittens as fast as they can, he wil have us in WW3 in less than 4 years if elected. We don't need thius guy that has no clue what is happening around the world. And to make stupid statements about other countries. Treasonous. Mitt report directly to Gitmo, do not pass go.
Intimidation is the coward's weapon of choice.
No free speech tonight
crazy Romney fans. Yes I know, both side have them, but only one side has actually fired shots
It is regrettable that someone would go this far to make their point. Racism comes to mind easily. The way people treat Obama is different from how they did other presidents in the past – take that pizza guy who lifted him off, for example. It's time to end racism once and for all, and it should not be part of American politics.
I hope the person or persons that fired into the occupied campaign office of President Obama is caught and prosecuted to the FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW!!!! The is a would-be murderer.
We need our troups home to protect us from our stupid selves.
It was probably those awful republicans!
Sore losers... C'mon guys, Ryan was not that much crunched yesterday. He may recover, ok? Back to a civilized discourse now?
I've never seen a Presidential season this mired in hate on both sides. Even as someone who considers myself an Obama supporter, both sides have been nasty to each other, and that spills over into the American people. Until both candidates come out and declare an end to the vitriol and crap and get the public fervor under control, I suspect we'll see more of this sort of thing unfortunately.
Welcome to the sick, brainwashed, violent tea party!
Another extremist Republican.....
this is a pointer to fact that human wisdom can fail
What is it with Colorado?
after something like that i would make alocal and state wide Martial lawon that city just to prove a point, just like g w bush said if a terrorist attack or any attack on the President should of happen the president can place in active the Patriot Act, with this power he can stay in office Regardless of a Elections, this power will make the current leader the dictator with Absolute Power of the armed forces and all local and state governments under his command. if i was u i would of send troops to march the streets t send a message !!! # for the next four years put ur foot down
I wrote about this ,tried to anyway, but cnn failed to let it go thru. this is how repubs resort to their normal cheating ways........try this with me .I shoot back.
