HICKORY, N.C. (WBTV) – Democrat Jeff Jackson has pulled a campaign ad that focused on a house owned by his opponent, Pat Harrigan. The move comes weeks after police began investigating a bullet that was shot into a house owned by Harrigan’s parents.

The Jackson campaign pulled the ad from WBTV late Thursday morning.

The ad centered on a lake house owned by Harrigan in Catawba County and ends with a shot of Jackson standing in front of a house on a lake.

The shooting happened in October, when Harrigan’s parents and children were in the house, a Harrigan spokesman confirmed.

A spokeswoman for the Hickory Police Department confirmed they are investigating the shooting.

Jeff Jackson Pulls Campaign Ad As Police Investigate Shooting Into Opponent’s Family Home

HICKORY, N.C. —  Senator Jeff Jackson, the Democrat running for the NC-14 congressional seat, has pulled a political ad from WCCB-TV and other Charlotte TV stations that showed a house owned by his Republican opponent Pat Harrigan.  The decision was in response to a Twitter post from Harrigan that accused Jackson’s campaign of threatening political violence.

The children of the republican candidate are now in hiding. Someone shot into their home.

Per the Jackson campaign- in your own linked article:

"Out of an abundance of caution, Jackson’s campaign pulled its campaign ad and issued the following statement:

“We fully support law enforcement as they investigate this incident and believe any wrongdoing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We at Team Jackson pulled our ad in an abundance of caution and concern, [b]but to be clear, the home involved in the incident has never been featured in any of our advertising[/b],” said Tommy Cromie, Campaign Spokesperson.[/quote]

It doesn't matter. What was the point of featuring any home at all? Would love to see the campaign ad.[/quote]

Same question for featuring guns? [/quote]

Again, it depends on the context for either ad. There's a saying "in the crosshairs" that doesn't literally mean shooting someone. I can say, for instance, if my husband does something stupid, that he's in my crosshairs but that doesn't mean literally. If you have a gun aimed at the candidate, yup, there's a problem with that.

I would like to know why a home was shown at all and what the context is in that ad. Does anyone have it to post?[/quote]
