A Democratic Party campaign office in Arizona was damaged by gunfire Sunday night, authorities in Tempe say.

The office, located just outside of Phoenix, houses staff for the Arizona Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign and campaigns for House and Senate races.

Footage from Scripps News Phoenix showed bullet holes in a door and window. There were no injuries reported in the incident.

Police are investigating the shooting as a property crime since the office was unoccupied at the time.
