JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Jackson police are trying to find out who damaged a generator and two security cameras at Mississippi's only abortion clinic.
Clinic director Shannon Brewer says Tuesday that employees of Jackson Women's Health Organization found the vandalism when they arrived at work Monday morning.
The state requires the clinic to have a generator in case power fails. Brewer says the clinic remains open while the generator is being repaired.
Officer Colendula Green, spokeswoman for the Jackson Police Department, says wires to the generator were cut.
Brewer says the security cameras are also being replaced. They are not required by the state. She says the last footage taken by the cameras shows one person walking outside the clinic after midnight Sunday.
She estimates the damage at $5,000 to $10,000.
