Window broken, slurs and hate symbols painted on Muslim family's Bolingbrook home

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (WLS) -- A suburban Muslim family is concerned for their safety after they said their house was vandalized in an anti-Muslim attack.

Bolingbrook police said officers responded to the home in the 100-block Enclave Circle at 2:48 a.m. on April 27. Police said an unknown person threw a brick through a bedroom window, and multiple derogatory, homophobic and racist slurs spray painted on the front of the home.

The graffiti also included a swastika and profanity.

Police said they believe the attack was targeted, not a random attack on the family.

An investigation is ongoing.
