Feds Open Investigation After ‘86 47’ Burned Into Grass On National Mall

Someone vandalized the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Thursday by carving or burning “86 47” into one of its grassy areas.

Footage of the phrase, often used in a slang way to refer to killing or getting rid of someone, went viral online.

It is unclear who made the message or how, but the grass appears deliberately burned or discolored.
