Deer Head Found Outside Obama Office In CoSprings
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4/AP) ―
Police in Colorado Springs are looking for the person who threw the head of a deer into the parking lot of a Barack Obama campaign office.
The head was found late Saturday night.
The Humane Society says the buck's antlers had been cut off to make the head resemble a donkey, the symbol of the Democratic Party.
Right now, police have no suspects.
"We're certainly concerned that someone would do something so ridiculous," said Lt. David Whitlock, a police spokeswoman.
Colorado John McCain spokesman Tom Kise called the incident "despicable."
"Hopefully, we can continue to have a constructive dialogue and not have it digress into this hate speech," Kise said.
Whitlock said police will increase patrols around the city's campaign offices before next Tuesday's elections.
