One was found at the front door of the League of Women Voters on July 7; the other was found tacked to a tree on 17th Ave. and Madison last Thursday. According to SPD's Blotter:
Officers did not find any bullet damage at either scene, at it appears both targets were shot at before they were placed at the two sites.

Police have little information about who’s been posting these targets, or what their motivation might be, but SPD is investigating and asking anyone who knows anything about these incidents to call 911.

"This apparent attempt to intimidate us will not dissuade us from our work," said League of Women Voters King County chapter prez Ellen Barton after the first target showed up. The league has endorsed Initiative 594, which would close a background check loophole for private gun sales.
