Police investigate Highland LDS seminary vandalism

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Police say it's vandalism that crossed a

very serious line. Hateful messages were spray painted onto the

seminary building across from Highland High School Saturday. The

graffiti said, "The Knights of Satan are here to claim the lives of

Mormons," "We've come to dismantle the Mormon empire, " and "You are no

longer safe." While some Highland students aren't letting the

statements bother them, saying, "I just can't believe someone would

take the time to do something like that," others are worried that those

were not idle threats. Daisy Magdaleno says, "I think it's threat. I'm

scared because this could turn into something really big." Highland

HIgh School Principal Paul Schulte says the school has increased their

security in light of an ongoing battle with graffiti. Salt Lake City

Police say they are dedicating extra resources for this investigation.

The LDS Church says they're handling the issue and moving on.
