I am very worried about our Arizona Democrats.Especially those in conservative districts. Harry Mitchell, Anne Kirkpatrick and Gabby. They have staked everything on this and few care what is going to happen to these very decent people.The risk they had to take deserved a much better bill.

TUCSON, AZ -- The staff at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' office worked late into Sunday evening as they awaited the results of a historic health care vote.

The Arizona democrat was one of five that voted yes to health care reform.

Hours after her staff left, someone broke the windows of her Tucson office.

"It is a concern that someone clearly could have gotten hurt," said C.J. Karamargin, Giffords' Tucson spokesperson.

Karamargin confirmed a security guard visited the office around 2 a.m. and found a glass door and side window had been kicked or shot out.

Tucson police say it does not appear anyone entered the office. They are currently investigating if a pellet gun of some kind was used to shatter the door and window.

According to Karamargin, U.S. Capitol police have been notified and local police have already begun investigating the incident.

The door and window have since been boarded up as authorities continue their investigation.

Karamargin said despite the fact that no one was injured, the violent vandalism has left Giffords' staff puzzled.

They understand how passionate people on both sides can be on this issue, but never anticipated anyone would act out in this way.

“It crossed the line of acceptable behavior. We are not going to be deterred by this cowardly act,” Karamargin said.
