...newly formed Anti-Corruption Council when he was struck in the chest by a single bullet fired from an abandoned office on the third floor of a building 200 m away from the government headquarters he was about to enter.

Nobody was hurt, but Representative John Linder, Barr's opponent in the Republican primary for the state's Seventh District, found plenty of ammunition.
