An Indianapolis council member said more than a dozen bullets were fired at his house Monday morning and a handwritten note reading "No Data Centers" was left on his doorstep.

In a statement, Indianapolis City-County Council member Ron Gibson said he and his 8-year-old son were not physically harmed but that they were awakened by the sound of gunfire.

“Just steps from where those bullets struck is our dining room table, where my son had been playing with his Legos the day before. That reality is deeply unsettling. This was not just an attack on my home, but endangered my child and disrupted the safety of our entire neighborhood,” Gibson said.
