WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 4 (UPI) -- West Palm Beach, Fla., officials say they're investigating an envelope containing racist photos of lynchings that was left on the city's television truck.
The names of five black and Hispanic employees were attached to photos of people hanging with ropes around their necks, The Palm Beach Post reported Wednesday.
City officials say they think the envelope titled "Happy Halloween" was placed on the truck, parked in a city maintenance lot, by an employee on Oct. 31.
The label maker used to affix the names to the pictures is the kind used in the city's utilities department, the newspaper said.
