Confederate Monument In Baltimore Covered With Paint

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Someone poured red paint on a Confederate monument in Baltimore's Bolton Hill Monday.

The 114-year-old statue of a dying Confederate soldier embraced by a winged figure of Glory.

This comes after three people died following violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Earlier on Monday, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh announced renewed efforts to remove confederate statues from Baltimore.
