ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) —
A longtime salon owner in Asheville's Grove Arcade believes vandals targeted his window because of his rainbow flag.

Vandals smashed the huge exterior vertical window at Marc Edward & Company Hair Design earlier this week.
"I don’t know for sure, but they aimed right below that rainbow flag," salon owner Marc Edwards said. "So, they were aiming up and from a distance, because it shattered. It’s a half-inch thick plane. I’ve never had fear of any sort in Asheville, and this incident made me worry."
A security guard found the rock below the broken window on Wednesday.
Several weeks ago, the owner of Carmel’s confirmed someone broke into the restaurant.

So far, the two crimes do not appear connected.
