Domestic Terrorism

ALBANY — Employees at a Central Avenue building that houses the county offices of the state Department of Motor Vehicles and a Planned Parenthood health center arrived at work Tuesday to find it pockmarked by gunfire.

No one was in the building at the time of the gunfire, which damaged doors and walls.

The Times Union requested a copy of the surveillance video showing the man firing at the DMV, but police refused to immediately release it because the shooting is still under investigation, department spokesman Steve Smith said.

Smith did not respond when asked how releasing the video would potentially compromise the investigation.

The building is just blocks from the scene of another overnight shooting that took place almost exactly a year ago: The window of the Albany County Democratic Committee's headquarters on Colvin Avenue was riddled by a half-dozen bullet holes at some point on the night of July 17-18, 2018.

Economic anxiety is a hellofa drug.
