Gunshot Fired at Family Home of GOP Congressional Candidate, Barely Misses His Kids

A mid-October shooting incident sent a bullet into a house where the children of Republican congressional candidate Pat Harrigan of North Carolina were staying at the time.

Harrigan is in a contested race against Democratic state Sen. Jeff Jackson to represent North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District.

On Oct. 18, one shot was fired through the window of a house in Hickory that belongs to Harrigan’s parents, Brandon Craft, Harrigan’s campaign manager, said, according to the Carolina Journal.
