Former Branson resident and current Jackson County State Senator Jolie Justus was one of several Missouri lawmakers whose office doors were tagged with small stickers resembling gun targets.

The incident happened Tuesday, and it’s believed Capitol Police and the Highway Patrol are part of the investigation, but a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Public Safety declined to comment on the specifics, only to say the department takes security at state buildings very seriously.  No one was injured, and no arrests have been made.

Senator Justus said someone appeared to deliberately pick her doorway.  She said after a small target sticker was removed, someone later placed a crosshairs sticker near her doorway.  She said if anyone thinks this was a prank, it’s not a prank.  She said you don’t joke about someone’s personal safety.

The point of the stickers isn’t known – however, their discovery came as the State Senate was debating legislation on whether Missouri should implement a portion of President Obama’s health care overhaul.
