The home of a councilman in Indianapolis was shot at early Monday in what local police said was an "isolated, targeted incident.

"The incident came less than a week after the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission voted 6 to 2 on April 1 to approve rezoning to allow the construction of a data center.

Ron Gibson, a Democrat who represents District 8 on the council, spoke out in support of the rezoning and the efforts to build the data center in his district. "Earlier this morning, between approximately 12:45 a. m. and 12:50 a. m.

, just a few hours after Easter Sunday, an individual fired 13 rounds at the front door of my home and left a note on my doorstep that read, 'No Data Centers,'" Gibson said in a Monday statement.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said it was called to the home on Monday morning, and officers found evidence that gunshots had been fired at the house. Police said no injuries were reported.

"I understand that public service can bring strong opinions and disagreement, but violence is never the answer, especially when it puts families at risk," Gibson said in his statement.

The Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. The data center is set to be built by Metrobloks, a data center developer based in Los Angeles.

Following the vote last week, Gibson shared a statement on social media promoting the project.
