Maybe someone did this because of the Newtown shooting cause they got the flag there with 26 stars for them. Guess they found another bomb cause the police set it off.

Has there been mention as to what type of explosives were used?

I'd have expected A LOT more damage.

They don't know anything yet. Also, from what I've seen there has been no mention of deaths. Only 4-6 injured. But who knows, it just happened. @_@

Edit, nevermind. My news is apparently slow. 2 people dead so far. D:

I was watching CNN and they didn't say anything about the deaths and I put it on ABC and they are talking about it.

Also is good

I'd guess something like a small pipe bomb or a homemade "googled how to make it" one so probably some idiot who hates the world, or wannabee terrorist sympathizer. The smaller ones we saw in Afghanistan would have taken everything in view of that camera out. We're lucky it wasn't something like that :(

Here comes registering of propane BBQ grill supplies with a capacity of cooking more than 15 hotdogs :\ I swear sometimes I just want to turn off the TV for good and go live in the woods.

There are reportedly more unfound bombs. Stay home if you're in the area.

Cell phone towers are overloaded. Text her, it's easier to get through than voice calls.

THIS.

We should be thankful that whomever was behind this was pretty "small-time."

Big explosions don't kill people by blowing off limbs.

The waves of pressure they generate damage the walls of your alveoli so that you drown on your own blood.

That's what we bomb terrorists with. "anti-personnel"
