Jun 22, 2024, 05:34 PM
Chicago's iconic Buckingham Fountain has been closed until further notice following an act of vandalism that occurred Friday overnight. The vandals dyed the fountain's water red and spray-painted anti-war messages around the Grant Park landmark. The Chicago Park District announced the closure on Saturday, citing the need for maintenance due to the damage. Chicago police are currently investigating the incident, which appears to be linked to a pro-Palestinian protest, as messages such as 'Gaza is bleeding' were found near the fountain. The closure has drawn significant attention and reactions from the public and media.
