LOUISVILLE — A vandalized billboard along a major interstate in Louisville called out the National Rifle Association after school shootings in Kentucky and Florida.

The sign along Interstate 65 northbound near the Fern Valley Road exit read "Kill the NRA." The billboard also was tagged with "Resist 45," a group that opposes President Trump.

Photos of the billboard, which is owned by Outfront Media, circulated widely on social media Monday. David Watkins, a spokesman for the company, said Tuesday that the vandalism on the Outfront property had been "immediately removed."

Last week's school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead has renewed outrage and debate over the nation's gun laws, with the NRA taking heat from those who want to see tighter regulations on firearms.

The NRA's official Facebook page shared the sign Monday, telling gun owners that it's "a wakeup call. They're coming after us."

"Resist 45" also popped up on several billboards across Louisville last year, including on a Louisville Soccer board at the University of Louisville and along Interstate 65.

A billboard vandalized in October featured a small "Resist 45" tag in the corner and referenced a campaign scandal in which Trump was recorded in 2005 talking with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush about sexually assaulting women.

A Facebook page for Resist 45 appears to have been deleted.
