The U.S. attorney for Southern Illinois and the FBI Special Agent in Charge are both vowing to protect law and order after someone defaced the federal building in Carbondale.

Individuals gathered outside the entrance of the Senator Paul Simon Federal Building in Carbondale on Tuesday evening.

Authorities say during the gathering, some members of the crowd defaced the outside of the building. A damage assessment is being done at this time.

If you have any information about this incident, law enforcement urge you to call 1-800-CALL-FBI and reference “Carbondale Illinois Federal Building.”

The operator will take down any information you have and contribute it to the investigation.
