The fire at the Hopewell Baptist Church in Greenville, Mississippi, erupted around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday and did heavy damage to the main sanctuary of the brick building, officials said.

The Trump graffiti was found in big letters on an outside wall, they said.

Federal ATF investigators and Mississippi State Fire Marshal’s Office investigators were on the scene.

Asked if the church had been targeted before, a spokeswoman for Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons said no.

“Not in recent years that I know of,” Kenya Collins told NBC News.
