Statement from Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight

“These actions and threats are the tools of cowards and bigots. This is not representative of our community. It seems that the hateful language and fear-mongering coming out of the national campaign is triggering this.

"I want everyone to know that we are taking this issue very seriously and the KPD is mounting a full investigation, including contacting the FBI about possible hate crime designation. The people behind this are trying to scare and intimidate people. We must come together to support our neighbors at this time.”
