Tenney condemns vandalism of her private D.C. residence: 'Disturbing and unacceptable'

New York GOP Rep. Claudia Tennney confirmed Thursday that her private residence in Washington, D.C., was vandalized overnight, but that no one was injured in the incident. 

Tenney said law enforcement responded to the vandalism early Thursday morning, and the incident is under investigation by the United States Capitol Police and D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department. The motive is currently unclear.

It was not immediately clear if a suspect is in custody, but the vandalism included a broken window. 

“This incident at my residence in Washington was disturbing and unacceptable," Tenney said in a statement. "I am grateful that no one was hurt, and I want to thank law enforcement for their rapid response and continued efforts to keep our community safe. Violence, intimidation, and attacks against public officials or their families have no place in our society. I will not be deterred from doing my job on behalf of the people of New York.”

Tenney represents New York's 24th Congressional District, which encompasses Lake Ontario’s shoreline from the Thousand Islands to Niagara County, minus the greater Rochester area.
