BUSH HQ SHOOTING UPDATE: The Knoxville News-Sentinel has more, including this quote:

Jim Gray, chairman of the Knox County Democratic Party, deemed the vandalism as “just unbelievable.”

“I’ve gone there personally to express my outrage that something like this could happen,” Gray said.

On the one hand, Gray noted it’s “a big assumption that it’s a Democrat” responsible for the shooting. On the other hand, he said, Republicans “could be happy that at least one Democrat supports the Second Amendment.”

“Obviously, there’s no way of knowing now who did it,” Gray said. “But I mentioned it could be someone mad that their yard sign was stolen.”
