‘Single Round From a Firearm’ Shot Into Window of Republican Virginia Attorney General’s Office

Richmond police are investigating a bullet shot into a window of the Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares’ office, The Daily Wire has learned.

“Capitol Police were called to the Barbara Johns Building at 7:13 p.m. Monday for a report of a bullet that may have been fired into the building from outside,” Public Information Officer Joe Macenka told The Daily Wire on Tuesday evening. “Officers found a bullet in a sixth-floor office that also had a small round hole near the top of a window.”

“Capitol Police are investigating the matter and have no further comment at this time,” he added.

In an email to the attorney general’s office viewed by The Daily Wire, Chief Deputy Attorney General Chuck Slemp informed colleagues that “a single round from a firearm was shot into a window of the Barbara Johns Building.”

“The round was located by housekeeping staff last night,” Slemp wrote. “The Capitol Police is actively investigating. There is no indication that this incident was targeted at the OAG specifically or any individual employee.”

“The Attorney General and I spoke with the Chief of the Capitol Police last night,” he continued. “The Capitol Police will be providing additional patrols by their officers over the next several days and will have an increased presence at our building for the foreseeable future.”

“We wanted you to hear this from us directly this morning before you come into the office,” he continued. “Further, we want to assure you that your safety at work is of paramount importance to the Attorney General.  If you have concerns, questions, or would like to discuss this matter, feel free to contact me or the Deputy AG for your division.”
