CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A Southwest Side alderman is calling out Mayor Lightfoot after being the target of vandals -- again.

Chicago police said two people threw bricks through the window of Ald. Ray Lopez’s (15th) Brighton Park office, located at  2736 W. 47th St., around 11:43 p.m. Sunday.

The suspects ran away and no one is in custody as Area One detectives investigate, police said.

The vandalism prompted Alderman Lopez to call out Mayor Lori Lightfoot in a tweet early Monday. He accused her of refusing to call out terror attacks in the community.

When you Mayor, refuse to call out the terror attacks on our communities, especially on their electeds, criminals only feel more emboldened to continue their reign. Glass can be replaced, peace of mind and security cannot. Your silence is destroying this city! pic.twitter.com/n0lBBgnb9o

“When you Mayor, refuse to call out the terror attacks on our communities, especially on their electeds, criminals only feel more emboldened to continue their reign,” Lopez wrote. “Glass can be replaced, peace of mind and security cannot. Your silence is destroying this city!”
