Vandals used a pumpkin to smash a window at a Post Falls elementary school this week, causing $150 worth of damage.

A Prairie View Elementary janitor discovered the damage Wednesday morning on the west side of the building. The pumpkin broke one side of a 4-foot, square, double-paned window, according to a sheriff’s report.

The janitor told deputies the window was broken between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. Wednesday. , DataTimes
