JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri Capitol Police have launched an investigation after several Democratic state senators’ offices were defaced with stickers depicting rifle crosshairs.

The bright orange stickers were found on the doors and exterior walls of offices belonging to several lawmakers, including Sen. Jolie Justus, D-Kansas City, who first brought the issue to her colleagues in the Senate chamber.

“We don’t have any explanation,” Justus told her colleagues on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon. “All we know is that many of us, when we came back to our offices this afternoon, found gun target stickers – stickers you’d find on a gun target at a shooting range – found them on our nameplates outside our doors.”

Justus added that when some senators removed the stickers they were replaced later in the afternoon by even larger crosshairs.
