A bullet-riddled target was deposited outside the League of Women Voters of Seattle-King County at some point during the three-day Fourth of July weekend, an action which the League links to its support of Initiative 594 on the November ballot.

The League’s offices on Capitol Hill “were targeted last weekend by an individual who left a shooting range target sheet pierced by numerous bullet holes,” the non-partisan voter activist group said in a statement sent to reporters on Tuesday.

“Sometime between Thursday evening and Saturday, a person or persons left the shot-up target at a doorstep outside the Seattle-King County office.”

The League has reported the incident to the Seattle Police Department, which is investigating the incident.

The League of Women Voters of Seattle-King County has joined a coalition backing I-594, which would close the “gun show loophole” in Washington by requiring that firearms purchasers at gun shows and on-line undergo a criminal background check.

“This apparent attempt to intimidate us will not dissuade us from our work,” said Ellen Barton, president of the local League.

“The League of Women Voters will continue to be a forum for dialogue, research and education on gun violence, and we look forward to reasonable, robust dialogue in the months ahead.”

If those who left the target at LWV’s office are looking to target other I-594 supporters, they don’t have to travel far.

Temple de Hirsch Sinai is three blocks away. Its senior rabbi has been an outspoken backer of gun-purchase background checks. St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral is a half-mile to the north: Its dean has appeared on stage at a Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility luncheon.

Just down Madison Street, the pastor of St. James Cathedral is a pledging supporter of I-594. Gun safety supporters have marched between St. Mark’s and St. James. The Episcopal bishop has blessed them from the nave of his cathedral.

Or the perpetrator could leave another shooting range target outside the Westin Hotel on Wednesday morning. The League of Women Voters of Seattle-King County is having a fundraising breakfast on the premises.
