Georgia teen shot while campaigning for Warnock, police say

• "According to the preliminary investigation, the teen was campaigning for Raphael Warnock for the upcoming run-off election when the incident occurred," police said.

Details: The 15-year-old boy, who police did not identify, was at the front door of a home on Thursday when Paiz allegedly fired a shot through the closed door, hitting the teen, police said.

• When they arrived at around 5:35pm, officers found the teen suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg, per police.
• He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The big picture: While police said "there is no indication the shooting was politically motivated" at this time, it comes during a period of increased threats and violence against election workers and political figures.

• Warnock's campaign did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
