Seattle resident vows to keep pro-Trump political displays on home despite second shooting attack
FOX 13 in Seattle reported that a shooting early Sunday morning left several holes in the Ballard area of the city home's windows while damaging a pickup truck parked outside.
The woman, who preferred to remain nameless, told the news station the shooter seemed to target political stickers and pictures in the window.
The pictures and stickers included President Donald Trump, a Confederate flag and a sticker that read, "Police Lives Matter."
A red pickup truck with a flag was also damaged when two windows were shattered in the shooting.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Seattle Police Department for information about the shooting.
FOX 13 spoke to the homeowner, who said this was the second time in two years that her house had been targeted.
The first time the house was shot was on New Year's Eve heading into 2024. During that shooting, she told the station, a bullet flew into a cabinet.
The shutters were closed when the house was shot on Sunday, and the homeowner said it may have helped stop some of the impact from the bullets.
Once the bullets were done flying, the woman said she looked outside and allegedly saw a man walking across the street, the station reported.
Despite this being the second time the house was shot at, the homeowner said she does not have plans to take down the political statements.
Instead, she noted, she plans to have security cameras installed.

Melania Trump writes private letter to Vladimir Putin
Trump revealed earlier this year that his wife had been influential in pushing him to secure peace in Ukraine. 'My conversations with him [Putin] are always very pleasant. I say, isn't that a very lovely conversation? And then the missiles go off that night,' Trump said at the White House last month. 'I go home, I tell the first lady: 'I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.' She said: 'Really? Another city was just hit.'' The Slovenian-born first lady, who grew up in the former Yugoslavia, has been supportive of Ukraine since Putin launched his invasion in 2022. Shortly after the war started, she called on her social media followers to donate to the Red Cross and said it was 'heartbreaking and horrific to see innocent people suffering'. Ukrainians and some US Republicans have praised her for seemingly influencing Trump to push Putin for peace. 'Well, I'm glad that the president has pivoted on Ukraine,' Don Bacon, a Republican congressman, said in an interview after the president threatened to impose secondary sanctions on Russia last month. 'I think we owe Melania some thanks here. Even the president said that his wife reminds him every day that Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night,' he continued.

China won't invade Taiwan 'as long as I'm here': Trump
US President Donald Trump claims Chinese President Xi Jinping told him China will not invade Taiwan while Trump is in office. Trump made the comments in an interview with Fox News before talks on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. "I will tell you, you know, you have a very similar thing with President Xi of China and Taiwan, but I don't believe there's any way it's going to happen as long as I'm here. We'll see," Trump said during an interview on Fox News. "He told me, 'I will never do it as long as you're president.' President Xi told me that, and I said, 'Well, I appreciate that,' but he also said, 'But I am very patient, and China is very patient," Trump said. Trump and Xi held their first confirmed call of Trump's second presidential term in June. Trump also said in April that Xi had called him but did not specify when that call took place. China views Taiwan as its own territory and has vowed to "reunify" with the democratic and separately governed island, by force if necessary. Taiwan strongly objects to China's sovereignty claims. The Chinese embassy in Washington on Friday described the topic of Taiwan as "the most important and sensitive issue" in China-US relations. "The US government should adhere to the one-China principle and the three US-China joint communiques, handle Taiwan-related issues prudently, and earnestly safeguard China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said in a statement. Although Washington is Taiwan's main arms supplier and international backer, the US - like most countries - has no formal diplomatic ties with the island.
