A large swastika was spray painted on the garage door of a Jewish family in Charlotte, North Carolina. The swastika was painted overnight Tuesday, according to local reports.
Police painted over the swastika on Tuesday morning before the family’s children could see it, WBTV reported.
“They were shocked, they were hurt, they were angry,” Klass said. “It was really important to them that people know this happened here in Charlotte and that it’s not OK and that it could happen to anyone and that we need to know about it and talk about it so we can do something about it.”
