STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Authorities are searching for a person who they say spray-painted pro-Palestinian graffiti onto a government building in Pennsylvania and set a fire nearby.
The FBI shared photos of the masked and hooded suspect wanted for the June incident at a United State Department of Defense contractor building in State College.
Investigators say the unknown person tagged the building on June 4th, then tried to enter the secure facility and fled when confronted by a security guard.
Five days later, investigators say the same person returned to the building and spray-painted more pro-Palestinian messages.
