PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities say a fire that destroyed part of the Arizona and Maricopa County Democratic Party headquarters may have been arson.
Phoenix police said they are treating the Friday incident as an arson investigation based on evidence collected at the scene.
Police did not elaborate but said more information should be available in the coming days.
Firefighters got first word of the blaze about 1 a.m.
Nobody was hurt, but the fire destroyed the part of the building housing the county Democratic offices.
Maricopa County Democratic Chair Steven Slugocki says computers, tablets, phone-banking equipment, campaign literature and years of documents were destroyed.
