Police are searching for two vandals who defaced the World War I Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday using some red spray paint.
The spray-painted words on the museum's Dedication Wall read, "Glory to the fallen martyrs," making reference to prison massacres that occurred on June 18-19, 1986. In the deadly episode, riots broke out across San Pedro, Santa Mónica and El Frontón prisons in Lima and Callao. At least 224 people died as the military acted to tamp down the violence.
