I’d finger his wife for the crime but I’d require several cans of disinfectant.

Terrorism task force is responding per Fox 28. Sweeping building for bomb. Bomb sniffing dog showed interest in a car. Streets closed for several blocks.

Second comment at the site says they were cooking meth, as a joke, I assume.
With all the meth lab busts in Ohio, I'm sure they've got all the equipment and chemicals stored in the basement evidence room. I could see where an incompetent tech might not have stored it properly.

I would bet it was a three hundred pound cop, five burritos, and a 64 ounce big gulp that went bang.

Yes, according to the talking heads, they have found no damage, just people reporting a burnt black powder smell.

Someone mentioned that it may have been a distraction to busy up law enforcement while some horrible crime was being committed elsewhere.

Thank you for the ping, Whenifhow.
