Officers stopped the males and identified them as students. Another two TUPD officers went to the other side of the building and stopped two other males who were fleeing the scene. In the backpack, officers found green, red and black cans of spray paint. On the building, officers discovered the words "tech," "save" and "sad" in green spray paint.
