Texas Democratic State Sen. Wendy Davis’ Fort Worth Office Firebombed [View all]

FORT WORTH — Police are trying to identify the man who entered the West 7th office of State Sen. Wendy Davis Tuesday afternoon and threw two firebombs just outside the door.

Two staffers were in the third floor office when the attack occurred around 4 o'clock. One of them had to leap over the flames to escape, then went to the break room, grabbed an extinguisher and put out the fire.

Investigators said Sen. Davis was not in the office at the time of the incident, but was at her law office closer to downtown Fort Worth.

A staffer told News 8 the Democratic lawmaker was alerted about what happened and that security at Davis' other local office was tightened as a result.
