A Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon, was targeted in a shooting incident where windows were shattered by gunfire early Wednesday. This marks the second attack within a month, following an arson case where one car was set ablaze. Local authorities, with assistance from the FBI, are investigating both incidents, although no arrests have been made yet. As investigations continue, the motive behind these attacks remains unclear, amid speculation about the political climate surrounding Tesla's CEO Elon Musk.
Officers found the damage to be from gunshots, adding that the investigation into the incident is still ongoing and that no arrests have been made.
The FBI's standard practice is to assist local agencies with leveraging their expertise or tools, for example, if it can benefit an investigation.
The incident was reported less than six hours ago, and we have detectives that are still on the scene gathering evidence and facts in the case.
This marks the second criminal strike against the Tesla store in a month, with the first incident being reported on January 20.
