Regina Police say what appeared to be bullet-holes in the window of a Saskatchewan Party campaign office are not from a gun.
Around 7:20 p.m. Monday, police were called to the 1600 block of Dewdney Avenue after reports of what appeared to be two bullet-holes in a window.
“Investigation indicated the damage was not the result of a firearm discharge, and the matter remains under investigation,” police said in a statement.
The Saskatchewan Party had made the announcement earlier Tuesday, believing one of their candidates had two bullet-holes at his campaign office.
The holes were found in the window of Rahul Singh’s campaign office. Singh is running in the Regina Northeast riding.
“Our campaign has already had many signs stolen but this goes well beyond that, putting our campaign volunteers in danger,” Singh said.
Sask. Party leader Scott Moe said it is completely unacceptable for any campaign for any party to be targeted in this way.

“I spoke to Rahul this morning,” Moe said. “I know he is troubled by this but he will not be intimidated. He has knocked thousands of doors and spoken with thousands of voters in Regina Northeast and that’s exactly what he plans to continue doing from now until election day.”
Saskatchewan NDP leader Carla Beck responded to the news Tuesday.
“No politician should ever be subjected to violence,” Beck said in a statement. “My heart goes out to Mr. Singh, the volunteers and the campaign staff working to support Mr. Singh’s campaign who are no doubt shaken by this violent act.
“I hope that whoever committed this act is brought to justice.”
