INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana politician said he and his son were awakened when someone fired 13 shots at their front door, leaving behind a note reading “No Data Centers” on their doorstep.

Indianapolis councilman Ron Gibson said he and his 8-year-old son weren’t harmed in the incident that occurred around 12:45 a.m. Monday, but the bullets struck just steps from the dining room table where his son played with Legos the day before.

“That reality is deeply unsettling,” Gibson said. “This was not just an attack on my home, but endangered my child and disrupted the safety of our entire neighborhood.”
