<p>Federal law enforcement officials have launched a criminal investigation into gunshots that were fired late last month at the family home of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">North Carolina</a> congressional candidate Pat Harrigan (R), a former Green Beret.</p>
<p>News of the shots that hit Harrigan&#8217;s parent&#8217;s home in Hickory, North Carolina, broke Thursday afternoon after the family disclosed the incident in an <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-11-03/shot-fired-at-family-home-of-n-carolina-us-house-candidate">interview</a> with The Associated Press.</p>
<p>Harrigan&#8217;s campaign said that Harrigan&#8217;s children were inside the home when the shooting happened and that a shot hit the home within a few feet of where the children were sleeping.</p>
<p>WBT News <a href="https://twitter.com/Brett_Jensen/status/1588234001218666498" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the FBI was involved in the investigation and that other agencies may be involved.</p>
<p>Harrigan is running in the state’s new 14<sup>th</sup> Congressional District against state Sen. Jeff Jackson (D).</p>
<p>“Jeff Jackson’s brand of politics leads to runaway inflation, economic ruin, and rampant crime – including political violence. Voters literally cannot afford to have him in Congress,&#8221; Harrigan&#8217;s campaign said in a statement. “I’m focused on fixing the economy, lowering prices, and keeping our streets safe. And it’ll take more than a bullet and death threats to knock this Green Beret off that mission.”</p>
<p>In a letter to his Jackson last month, Harrigan said that he was disappointed in how Jackson had conducted himself while on the campaign trail, including filming a campaign ad in front of one of Harrigan&#8217;s homes in Hickory.</p>
<p>&#8220;On September 28th, you and your team shot a television ad outside one of my homes in Hickory, North Carolina,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Aside from the plainly false information in the ad, you crossed a red line&#8211;but not before showing your true character to the people of the 14th District. The ad went too far because targeting family domiciles crosses a line.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Family is stretched thin on campaigns&#8211;and you violated my family&#8217;s security,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I have already received a credible death threat. I wear a low-profile bulletproof vest to every single major public event. As I travel, wherever my family is located, they are significantly less safe with me in this race. And they are even less safe now that you&#8217;ve shown one of my homes to the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m never going to film an ad in front of your home, violating the sanctity and security of your family- putting their lives at risk,&#8221; he later added. &#8220;It just doesn&#8217;t seem like the &#8216;honest and decent&#8217; thing to do. Quite frankly, it would be so dishonest and indecent that the thought has never crossed my mind. I&#8217;m sorry that it crossed yours.&#8221;</p>
