Doug Stanton and his younger son put up plywood on the windows and doors of the home of his older son, 40-year-old Aaron Stanton, who was shot and killed by police on July 27. The father found the home broken into and ransacked 11 days after his son was killed. "We're not very good taggers," Doug Stanton said, but he hopes the black spray-painted messages prevent further vandalism. Maxine Bernstein/ The Oregonian

Then he swung by his son’s nearby green clapboard house to check on the property along Southeast 126th Avenue.
