BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) — Republican Ron Paul’s presidential campaign says someone threw a rock through the window of Paul’s Washington state campaign headquarters in Bellevue.

The Seattle Times reports (http://is.gd/RdiGUa ) that volunteers and staff were working in the office when the rock crashed through a window about 6 p.m. Sunday. No one was hurt.

The Times says a campaign coordinator ran outside and spotted a gray vehicle driving away.

Bellevue police responded to take an incident report.

In a statement, Paul’s National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton called the incident “regrettable.”

The Texas congressman has been organizing for months in Washington state ahead of the state’s March 3 GOP caucuses.
