Now that school is back in session, residents expected that the city of Killeen would see fewer teenagers out at night—meaning less mischief to worry about. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Recently, I spoke with residents in the area who have been feeling increasingly uneasy about property-related crimes in their community. One individual, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that his neighborhood has recently been terrorized by someone committing acts of vandalism. In one incident, a brick was thrown into a resident’s home, leaving the entire community in an uproar.

The idea that children are out vandalizing property at that hour is baffling, especially considering school is now in session and those are hours when students should be asleep. Still, residents insist the culprits may be juveniles.
So far, there is no video footage confirming that minors are responsible—only police reports. As of now, these are still allegations. Residents are being urged to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
