Bullets were fired into the Greene County Democratic Party (GCDP) Headquarters in the overnight hours of May 29th to May 30th.  Five bullet holes were discovered on the premises.  This incident was reported to the Xenia Police Department and the FBI.  Investigations are in progress. 

GCDP Headquarters is located at 10 S. Detroit Street in Xenia.  This is a main intersection in the city near the Greene County Courthouse, the Xenia Police Department and a bicycle path.  This event was preceded by another incident on April 11, 2020 when a window at GCDP Headquarters was shattered by a concrete object. 

            These incidents were cowardly acts perpetrated by people who do not represent who we are in Greene County.  The persons who performed these acts of vandalism, violence and terrorism pose dangers to the safety of our citizens.  Intimidations made against a political party are a threat to our democracy and the rule of law.  The GCDP calls on all good people, and especially our elected officials, to condemn these assaults on our community.  We will defend democracy and the freedom to vote.
