Indianapolis Councilor Ron Gibson says about 13 shots were fired at his front door around 12:45 a.m. Monday while he and his 8‑year‑old son were inside, and a handwritten note reading “No Data Centers” was left on his doorstep, an incident police say appears to be an isolated, targeted attack with the FBI assisting. The shooting is being linked to last week’s Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission approval of the MetroBloks data center rezoning that Gibson supported, and researchers note data centers have increasingly become symbolic targets for extremists motivated by anti‑tech, anti‑government and environmental grievances.
