Did a GOP candidate shoot at his own house? Or was there 'a' shooting at his house? Or did someone else shoot at his house? Headline is confusing. 😊

Local police and FBI involved, there are other sources of the news it's just local and probably won't hit national news. Someone shot at his house according to the news.

This reads as staged propaganda to enforce a surveillance police state like China.  What’s the other side of the story?

There isn’t one. Who the hell would be shooting at a candidate for the f****** Board of County Commissioners in some small jerkwater town? lol. Dude ran once before and lost. Now he’s running again and someone perceives him as such a threat they feel they need to threaten and intimidate him? Yeah right.

thinking the same. He knew he was gonna lose and he had to get out without looking like a punk.

Detectives confirmed that Marin and his family were inside the house when it happened. Detectives recovered multiple shell casings in the road. Investigators believe the shooting was targeted and wasn't a random act of violence.  The candidate said he would not speculate about the shooting out of respect for the ongoing investigation. "
