EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Three shots fired at a federal courthouse in Oregon late Wednesday or early Thursday hit windows in U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio's office, while a fourth shot hit a wall above the office, the FBI said. No one was in the second-floor office at the time, and the Democratic congressman's staffers in Eugene found the damage when they arrived for work Thursday morning. Investigators believe the shots were fired between 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and 7 a.m. Thursday, FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele said, adding they're not certain that DeFazio's office was the intended target. "Right now, our biggest concern is determining why this happened," Steele said, adding the FBI doesn't know whether the shooter or shooters were trying to hurt anyone. "We're obviously taking this very seriously." DeFazio spokeswoman Molly Simmons confirmed the congressman was in Washington, D.C., at the time. The Register-Guard reported that from outside the courthouse, the only visible damage to DeFazio's office was to one window that had a single, quarter-sized hole with cracks spidering outward. No details were released about the type of ammunition used. The courthouse was open for business as usual Thursday. The FBI is working with the U.S. Marshals Service, Federal Protective Service and Eugene police. ___ Information from: The Register-Guard, http://www.registerguard.com

What, spraying a swastika on the courthouse door wasn't good enough for this occasion?? I'll bet it was an Earth First!/ALF/ELF activist with a name that is eerily close to Shecky Goldstein or Abe Harris or Jacob Blatzenberg etc. etc......

Sounds like they pull in the sidewalks in Eugene about the same time we do in Toledo. ;-)
Obama is in so far over his head he should be wearing skuba gear
