A supporter of the MAGA movement living in the heavily Democratic city of Washington was startled in the early hours of the morning to discover her window riddled with bullet holes, where she had displayed several politically charged signs.
The Seattle Police Department disclosed that they were looking into a possible targeted assault prompted by the presence of ‘political and ideological signs.’ These signs included a Confederate flag, endorsement of Donald Trump, and a placard stating ‘Police Lives Matter.’
Photos from the scene revealed other signs with an inscription reading, ‘Stand for the flag, kneel for the cross.’
Another sign read over the Confederate Flag, ‘Learn the truth and you will not be offended.’
A photo featuring Trump read, ‘Thank you for protecting our children and our country.’
Police said the incident happened around 3am on Sunday and the homeowner was asleep during the attack.
No injuries were reported and the suspects have yet to be identified. Daily Mail reached out to Seattle PD for an update on the case.
The department’s Gun Violence Reduction Unit is investigating the shooting. Authorities recovered multiple shell casings at the scene.

The homeowner told local ABC affiliate, KOMO News, that this was the third time their house was targeted.
Ewa Sporna, who lives in the neighborhood, told the outlet, ‘They always damage her window and car.
‘I’m surprised. I thought once, twice, but a third time, now a little too much,’ she added.
Startled by the sound of gunshots during the night, Sporna expressed feeling fearful and subdued. Contemplating a relocation due to concerns over safety, the unsettling experience left her visibly shaken.
Another neighbor, Nadine Frehafer, agreed, telling KOMO, ‘Surprised it happened, but not super surprised that people are upset.’
‘Nobody deserves violence against them, obviously.’
The signs promoted anti-Trump sentiments, pro-police stances, and included a Confederate flag
The homeowner, whose identity wasn’t revealed, said they wouldn’t be taking the signs down despite three attacks on their home
Mason Rapisarda, whose grandmother lives next door to the home, told local Fox Seattle affiliate, ‘I think it’s unnecessary to bring that kind of violence.’
‘Being how close the houses are together, it definitely concerns me.’
Rapisarda added that the incident has been ‘very scary’ for his grandmother who worries that if there’s another attack, her home could be shot at.
The homeowner told Fox that her house was targeted on New Year’s Eve heading into 2024 and a bullet flew into a cabinet.
Despite the violence, the homeowner told local news that she would be keeping her signs up.
