Tucson, Arizona—This evening, a shooting took place just outside of Daniel Hernandez’s family home. The home also serves as the campaign headquarters. Law enforcement responded to the scene and is conducting an ongoing investigation.
Daniel Hernandez released the following statement:
“Earlier this evening, a campaign staffer’s car was struck by gunfire just outside our home, which also serves as our campaign headquarters. We are all shaken, and everyone is safe. Bullet casings were found at the scene. We are working closely with local authorities, who are actively investigating, and we are committed to ensuring those responsible are held accountable.
“While the motive remains unknown, the fact that this happened just steps from where my family sleeps and our team works is deeply unsettling. As a gun violence survivor, I know this fear all too well—and over the years, my family and I have endured repeated death threats.
“Our family, our staff, and our supporters deserve to feel safe. Violence and intimidation have no place in our politics. We will not be deterred, and we will share more information as it becomes available.”
