LITTLE ELM, Texas — A high school mourning the loss of an officer was vandalized while most of the town attended a vigil for the slain policeman.
NBC 5 reported that officials found a trailer spray painted with derogatory words and “We Are Back.” They believe the damage occurred Wednesday during the candlelight vigil for Detective Jerry Walker, who was fatally shot while responding to a call.
“There’s no need for stuff like this,” school spokesperson Pat Robbins said. “It’s never a good time for something like this to happen, but right now when our entire community is in mourning, it’s pretty thoughtless.”
The incident is the second time in months that the school has experienced vandalism on the trailer. It had recently be repainted and updated.
