14 Students Accused of Vandalism, Spray-Painting Swastika, Anti-Gay Slurs on High School [View all]

Fourteen students at a Massachusetts high school are facing disciplinary action by the school district as police continue to investigate a break-in that resulted in vandalism at the school last week.

Officers responded to Arlington High School on Massachusetts Avenue last Wednesday, police and the town's superintendent announced Tuesday. Responders found damaged property inside the building, as well as a swastika and anti-gay slurs outside.

It appeared a group of people had entered the building, using and damaging several fire extinguishers, while damaging vending machines, display cases and an emergency defibrillator inside the facility. The suspects, later identified as all male students, also used spray paint inside and outside of the school, police said.

The names of the students involved in the incident were not immediately released.
