The local Orlando news is reporting that an explosive device was set off outside a Walgreens drugstore in Winter Park. The burn mark is shown on the outside of the building wall. Employees called 911 for help and to my knowledge, all the employees are safe. No further information at this time and investigators are on the scene.

UPDATE:
Tampa Bay's 10 News:
WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a small bomb exploded this morning outside of a Winter Park drug store.
Winter Park Police spokeswoman Sergeant Pam Marcum says three employees were inside the Walgreens store when they heard a popping noise at about 4:55 a-m.
No one was injured and police say the explosion caused only minimal damage to the building.
The incident remains under investigation.
The parking lot around the store is taped off.
The employees called 911. That must tie it to Bush somehow.
My guess is on WorldCantWait.org. Some of their members are still pissed we haven't socialized medicine yet. Either that or a really hacked off octogenarian after finding out the store ran out of Depends.
This store is just about a mile from me - "our" Walgreens. They've got the place all taped off, roads into the neighborhood closed off - I had to go the long way around to get home...
It was probably just a senior citizen who's head exploded while waiting in line 5 hours for flu shot and then was told the vaccince was sent to Peoria instead.
What is the ratio for teenage computer hackers to professional criminals vs. those who become successful engineers?
It is still a crime even when the youth "means no harm".
Keep us updated if you learn anything new.
BWAAHAHA!
Hacking causes much greater harm than does blowing up garbage cans. Playing with explosives doesn't require damaging someone else's property and is not necessarily a crime.
Then: Kids with firecrackers, saltpeter and sugar all in varoius forms and fun until you burned yourself or blew off the tip of your finger.
Today, that would be considered borderline terrorist activites.
Today, kids surf on their neighbor's unsecured WiFi connection, scan unsecured IP addresses to inflitrate and engage in peer to peer file trading to fill their IPod with illegally gained songs.
All technically "illegal" but morally justifiable in their own eyes as everyone else is doing it too.
Nope.
Three eyed aliens!
The ATF would beg to differ and snooping via computer is not always data destructive.
Explosives by their very nature "blow things up".
More reporting. When a kid sets of a bottle rocket it is an "explosive device". None of the amateur pyrotechnics from the days of my youth made the papers... <p.
