911 call reporting GOP headquarters firebombing released

WCNC 10:18 AM. EDT October 18, 2016

... "Someone has firebombed through the window of the Republican Party next to me and sprayed all over the side of the building, 'Nazi Republicans leave town or else,'" the caller reported.

The caller further reported, "They threw some sort of firebomb through the window because it smoked up under the porch and all around the window frame... I can smell smoke, so obviously it went on its own or didn't work well, but it is some sort of incediary device."

The caller theorized that the incident must have occurred in the early hours due to no one being in the area and the presence of outdoor cats the caller cares for at that time of the 911 call.

"This case has been the sole focus of HPD investigators since it was reported Sunday morning," Hillsborough Police Chief Duane Hampton said. "We are conducting many interviews, following every lead, and utilizing numerous investigative techniques and tactics" ...

... Hillsborough Police Chief Duane Hampton ... declined to say how confident he was that the evidence would lead to an arrest ...

North Carolina’s Republican Gov. Pat McCrory ... questioned why it took Hillsborough authorities several hours after the 911 call to release information publicly Sunday, suggesting they had initially treated the crime as merely vandalism instead of something more serious.

But Hampton said federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were called immediately and arrived on the scene within an hour of his own officers ...

Democrats started a campaign to raise $10,000 to reopen the GOP office, meeting the goal in less than 40 minutes ...

Someone supporting Donald did it because it was right after the news that Trump cut ties with some GOP Republican leader who ran a field office. I believe it was someone who is supporting Donald for sure. I hope the police find them.

That HAD to be drawn by someone familar with using it. How many people, off the top of their heads could draw a nazi swastika accurately, even getting it at the same angle the nazis use. Look to the white supremacists.

Edit to add pic.
