KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Police are investigating after two bricks were thrown through the glass door at Barack Obama's Kansas City campaign headquarters early Tuesday morning.

Police said two people were in the office in the 3100 block of Gilham Plaza at about 2 a.m. when they heard some mumbling outside and then glass breaking. According to the police report, the workers hid under their desks until officers arrived.

Investigators said they found two bricks with messages on them. One brick had "False Hope" written on it and second had "Means Social War" written on it.

No injuries were reported.

"It really didn't phase us. This comes along with the territory," local Obama campaign spokeswoman Melissa Nitti told KMBC's Maria Antonia said. "We're always cautious, always careful. We keep the door locked at night when we don't have a lot of people here."

Police are checking a nearby surveillance camera for images of the culprits.
