Shots Fired at Family Home of Republican Congressional Candidate While His Children Were Inside: Report

Federal law enforcement officials have launched a criminal investigation into gunshots that were fired late last month at the family home of North Carolina congressional candidate Pat Harrigan (R), a former Green Beret.

News of the shots that hit Harrigan’s parent’s home in Hickory, North Carolina, broke Thursday afternoon after the family disclosed the incident in an interview with The Associated Press.

Harrigan’s campaign said that Harrigan’s children were inside the home when the shooting happened and that a shot hit the home within a few feet of where the children were sleeping.

WBT News reported that the FBI was involved in the investigation and that other agencies may be involved.

Harrigan is running in the state’s new 14th Congressional District against state Sen. Jeff Jackson (D). (Read more from “Shots Fired at Family Home of Republican Congressional Candidate While His Children Were Inside: Report” HERE)
